What is the Centripetal Force Calculator?

The Centripetal Force Calculator allows you to calculate the force required to keep an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed using the formula F = m·v² / r. By entering the object’s mass, radius of the circle, and velocity, the calculator instantly computes the centripetal force. This tool is useful for physics students, teachers, and anyone studying rotational motion or designing systems involving circular motion.

How to Use:

1. Enter Mass (m): Type the mass of the object in kilograms.
2. Enter Radius (r): Type the radius of the circular path in meters.
3. Enter Velocity (v): Type the velocity of the object in meters per second.
4. Click “Calculate”: The calculator applies the centripetal force formula to find the force.
5. Review the Result: The output shows the centripetal force in newtons (N), providing the necessary force to maintain circular motion.
