Centrifugal force

15 Oct 2018Email

Centrifugal force is a kind of virtual force, an inertial force that keeps a rotating object away from its center of rotation. A centrifugal pump is a fluid device that uses centrifugal force. In Newtonian mechanics, centrifugal force has been used to express two different concepts: an inertial force, a centripetal force balance observed under a non-inertial reference frame. Under Lagrangian mechanics, centrifugal forces are sometimes used to describe generalized forces at a certain generalized coordinate.

 

Formula
F=a*m
F——centrifugal force;
a - centripetal acceleration {a = ω ^ 2 * r = (v ^ 2) / r = [4 * (π ^ 2) * r / T ^ 2};
m - the mass of the object.
(F=a*m itself is the application of Newton's second law)
(In the above formula, ω refers to the angular velocity of the object's circular motion, r refers to the radius of the object's circular motion, T refers to the period of the object's circular motion, π refers to the pi)
