Detailed explanation-1: -Centripetal force is measured in Newtons and is calculated as the mass (in kg), multiplied by tangential velocity (in meters per second) squared, divided by the radius (in meters). This means that if tangential velocity doubles, the force will quadruple.
Detailed explanation-2: -The unit of centripetal force is newton.
Detailed explanation-3: -The direction of the net force is in the same direction as the acceleration. So for an object moving in a circle, there must be an inward force acting upon it in order to cause its inward acceleration. This is sometimes referred to as the centripetal force requirement.
Detailed explanation-4: -The SI unit of centripetal force is the Newton, N; The imperial unit of centripetal force is the poundal, pdl; The English Engineering unit of centripetal force is the pound-force, lbf; The CGS unit of centripetal force is the dyne, dy .
Detailed explanation-5: -For a mass M with tangential speed v at radius R, the centripetal force is Fc = Mv2/R.
