Formula

F = m·v² / r.

How to Use

  1. Enter mass, tangential speed and radius.
  2. It returns centrifugal force.

Case Studies

m=1000, v=20, r=50 → F=8000 N

F = 1000·400/50 = 8000 N.

FAQ

Is centrifugal force real?

In an inertial frame it's the apparent effect of inertia; in a rotating frame it appears as a fictitious outward force.
