Centripetal Force Apparatus

Centripetal Force Apparatus:

This is a force that makes a body follow a curved path. Its direction is always orthogonal to the motion of the body and towards the fixed point of the instantaneous center of curvature of the path.

Specifications:

• Metal frame attached to stand and table top.
• A cylindrical bob suspended from a cross arm.
• Cross arm supported by an axle. Centripetal force is provided by the spring support on the axle.
• Study of circular motion involves relationship between centripetal force, velocity, radius and mass.
• A pulley is fitted on the extreme and to suspend hanging weight on the cylindrical bob.
