Centripetal Acceleration & Force

The real force F acting on particle of mass m performing circular motion acts along the radius of circle r and is directed forwards the centre of the circle. The magnitude of square root of such a force is (T = periodic time)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Centripetal force F=mω2r=4π2mrT2F = m\omega^2 r = \frac{4\pi^2 m r}{T^2}.
  2. F=2πmrT\sqrt{F} = \frac{2\pi\sqrt{mr}}{T}
  3. So the answer is (a) 2πmrT\frac{2\pi\sqrt{mr}}{T}.
