A body of mass 5 kg is rotating with angular velocity 10 rad/s in a circular path of radius 0.1 m. Determine the centrifugal force acting on the body.
- A.100 N
- B.50 N
- C.80 N
- D.60 N
Show answer
The centrifugal force has the same magnitude as the centripetal force, which for a body moving in a circle is the mass multiplied by the square of the angular velocity multiplied by the radius.
