Question

will rate good, please answer quickly

In the 1989 movie "Batman" (likely before your time), the batman was able to execute a turn at high speed using a bat-rope shot out from the batmobile that grabbed a Gotham City lamp post. After executing 90 degrees of turn, the bat-rope was released and left behind for cleanup by the
Gotham City Department of Sanitation.
Lamp
Post
M
Rope
For simplicity, we will assume no friction from the tires on the road (making the centripetal force coming entirely from the bat-rope).
Bat-rope is excellent but not infinite and will break if the tension in the rope exceeds Tmax= 1649000 Newtons. Assuming that the batmobile has a mass of m= 1213 kg and turns in a circle of radius R = 2.58 meters, calculate all the following:
The maximum velocity of the batmobile, Vmax
m/s
Assuming that the batmobile is only going 76 % of Vmax, what is the rope tension?
The time required to make the 90 degree turn,
N
NOTE: For a 90 degree turn, the distance covered is 1/4 of the circumference of the circle.
NOTE: Count the zeroes on the tension carefully. The number should be between 1 and 10 million newtons.

Introduction:

The batman makes a 90 degree turn using rope. The motion for this turn is circular motion. The necessary centripetal force is applied by the tension in rope. 

The centripetal force is given as

F=mv2r

Here m,v,r are mass, velocity, radius of batman.

The rope breaks if maximum tension limit is crossed.
