Centripetal Force Calculator

Centripetal force calculator finds the centripetal force of a moving object. Centripetal Force refers to a force that acts on a body that moves in a circular path and which is directed toward the center around which the body is moving.

Centripetal force is necessary for an object to move with a circular motion. The apparent force that is equal and opposite of the centripetal force and drawing a rotating body away from the center of rotation that is caused by the inertia of the body is said to be Centripetal Force.

Force acting on a moving body at an angle to the direction of motion that tends to make the body follow a circular or curved path is termed as a centripetal force of an object. The advanced online Centripetal Force Calculator is used to calculate and find the force of an object by the given mass, radius and velocity.

Example:
Calculate the Centripetal force for the given details.
Mass (m) = 10 kg
Radius (r) = 5 m
Velocity (v) = 15 m/s

Solution:
Apply formula:
f = mv²/r
f = 10*15²/5
f = 450 N
Centripetal Force (f) = 450 N
