Centripetal Forces

Calculate the Centripetal Force Acting on the Body

We are given the following data:

• Mass of the body
• Speed
• Radius of the circular path

Step 1: Recall the formula for centripetal force:

The centripetal force is given by the formula:

Step 2: Substitute the known values into the formula:

Simplifying:

Conclusion:

The centripetal force acting on the body is .
