If speed of a body and radius of it's circular path are double, centripetal force will become

Assertion : If both the speed of a body and radius of its circular path are doubled, then centripetal force also gets doubled. Reason : Centripetal force is directly proportional to both speed of a body and radius of circular path.

The force required to keep a body in uniform circular motion is
