hello

do any of u guys knw what is the relationship between the centripetal force and frequency, mass, speed, and radius of a rotating object?

thx a bunch :tongue2:

thx a bunch :tongue2:
{Mass} = m
{Speed} = v
{Radius} = r
{Frequency of Rotation (in Hz)} = f
{Angular Frequency (in radians/sec)} = ω = 2*π*f

{Centripetal Force} = m*v2/r
OR:
{Centripetal Force} = m*(2*π*r*f)2/r = m*r*(2*π*f)2 = 4*π2*m*r*f2
OR:
{Centripetal Force} = m*r*ω2
