Centrifugal Force

This function calculates various centrifugal force parameters

Centrifugal force is an inertial force that occurs during rotary and circular motion. It is directed radially outwards from the axis of rotation, such as on the chairoplane when the seats are pushed outwards. The unit of measurement is Newtons (N).

For the calculation, use the radio button to select which parameter is to be calculated. Then enter the required values and click the 'Calculate' button.

Formulas of the centrifugal force

Centrifugal force in Newtons (N)

\(\displaystyle F_Z=\frac{m·v^2}{r} \)

mass in kilograms (kg)

\(\displaystyle m=\frac{F_Z·r}{v^2} \)

Velocity in meters per second (m/s)

\(\displaystyle v=\sqrt{\frac{F_Z·r}{m}}\)

Radius in metres (m)

\(\displaystyle r =\frac{m·v^2}{F_Z} \)
