Centripetal Force Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Centripetal Force = (Mass*Velocity^2)/Radius
F_C = (M*v^2)/r
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Centripetal Force - (Measured in Newton) - Centripetal Force is the inward force required to keep an object moving in a circular path.
Mass - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass is the quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it.
Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction) and is the rate of change of the position of an object with respect to time.
Radius - (Measured in Meter) - Radius typically refers to the distance from the center of a circle or sphere to its outer edge or surface.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass: 35.45 Kilogram --> 35.45 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Velocity: 61 Meter per Second --> 61 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Radius: 6 Meter --> 6 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_C = (M*v^2)/r --> (35.45*61^2)/6

Evaluating ... ...

F_C = 21984.9083333333

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

21984.9083333333 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

21984.9083333333 ≈ 21984.91 Newton <-- Centripetal Force

Speed of Object in Circular Motion

Go Speed of object moving in Circle = 2*pi*Radius*Frequency

Angular Displacement

Go Angular Displacement = Distance Covered on the Circular Path/Radius of Curvature

Centripetal Force

Go Centripetal Force = (Mass*Velocity^2)/Radius

Angular Speed

Go Angular Speed = Angular Displacement/Total Time Taken

Centripetal Force Formula

Centripetal Force = (Mass*Velocity^2)/Radius
F_C = (M*v^2)/r

What is Centripetal Force?

Centripetal force is the inward force required to keep an object moving in a circular path, directed toward the center of the circle around which the object is moving.

How to Calculate Centripetal Force?

Centripetal Force calculator uses Centripetal Force = (Mass*Velocity^2)/Radius to calculate the Centripetal Force, Centripetal Force formula is defined as the net force required to keep an object moving in a circular path, resulting from the interaction between the object's mass, velocity, and the radius of the circular path, and is essential to understanding circular motion and rotation in physics. Centripetal Force is denoted by F_C symbol.
