Physics question. Complicated. Centrifugal force.

Ok, here's a complicated physics question ya.

If I am in space, and I have a one pound weight, and I tie the weight to a rope that is three feet long and swing or rotate the weight, how fast must the weight rotate at the end of the rope in order to produce a one pound pull on the rope?
