About Centripetal Force

Centripetal force is the force that keeps an object moving in a circular path. It always acts toward the center of rotation.

F = m × v² / r

Where F is the centripetal force in Newtons (N), m is mass in kilograms (kg), v is velocity in meters per second (m/s), and r is the radius in meters (m).
