Angular Force Formula
The following formula is used to calculate an angular force.
F = m*v^2 / r
- Where F is the force (N)
- m is the mass (kg)
- v is the velocity (m/s)
- r is the radius (m)
To calculate an angular force, multiply the mass by the tangential velocity squared, then divide by the radius.
Angular Force Definition
An angular force is a force required to keep a rotating object at a constant tangential velocity.
Angular Force Example
How to calculate angular force?
- First, determine the mass.
Measure or calculate the mass of the object.
- Next, determine the radius
Measure the radius of rotation.
- Next, determine the velocity.
Calculate the tangential velocity.
- Finally, calculate the angular force.
Calculate angular force using the equation above.
Is angular speed centripetal force?
No, angular speed is not centripetal force. A centripetal force is what causes an object to have an angular speed.
FAQ
An angular force is a force that keeps a rotating object moving at a constant velocity in rotational motion.
