Centrifugal force


Centrifugal Force or centripetal force is one of the inertial forces that arises during the motion of a point mass or object along a curved path, acting perpendicular to the direction of motion (tangent to the trajectory) and away from the center of rotation.

$$F_c = m \cdot \frac{{v^2}}{r}$$


where,

Fc— centrifugal force (N);
m— mass (kg);
v— velocity (m/s);
r— radius (m).
