Centripetal and Centrifugal Force

Centripetal & Centrifugal Force:

                  When a body of mass m kg is moving with angular velocity w rad/s, in a circular path of radius r, then centripetal force
                                                           F = m.w2.r
                           






                            This force acts radially inwards and is essential for circular motion. According to Newton's third law of motion, the body must exert a force radially outwards of equal magnitude. The force is known as Centrifugal force, whose magnitude is given by
                                      
                                                            F = m.w2.r
