Define centripetal force.
उत्तर
The force acting on a particle performing uniform circular motion along the radius and directed towards the centre of the circle is called centripetal force.
The mathematical form of centripetal force is:
F = `"mv"^2/"r"`
where:
F = centripetal force,
m = mass of the object,
v = speed or velocity, and
r = radius
