👋 Hello! I'm Alphonsio the robot. Ask me a question, I'll try to answer.
How to calculate the centripetal force based on angular velocity ?
The centripetal force can be calculated with the following formula:
The previous equation can be generalized in vector form:
Where:
-
is the centripetal force expressed in Newton ( ) -
is the body mass expressed in kilograms ( ) -
is the angular velocity of the body expressed in radians per second ( ) -
is the angular velocity vector -
is the radius of the circular path expressed in meters ( ) -
is a radius vector attached to the center of the circular path, in the direction of the body.
