Question

A particle of mass m rotates in a circle of the radius a with a uniform angular speed ω 0 . It is viewed from a frame rotating about the z-axis with a uniform angular speed ω . The centrifugal force on the particle is, m ω 2 a, m ω 0 2 a, m ω + ω 0 2 2 a, m ω ω 0

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Centrifugal force does not depend upon angular velocity of particle. It depends upon angular velocity of frame of reference. ∴ Centrifugal force is F = m ω 2 a
