Question

The centripetal force depends upon mass, velocity
of a body and radius of a path. Derive the formula for centripetal force if constant of proportionality is 1​

Answer 1

Explanation:

By using the expressions for centripetal acceleration ac from ac=v2r;ac=rω2 a c = v 2 r ; a c = r ω 2 , we get two expressions for the centripetal force Fc in terms of mass, velocity, angular velocity, and radius of curvature: Fc=mv2r;Fc=mrω2 F c = m v 2 r ; F c = m r ω 2 .
