Calculator Inputs and Outputs
Inputs
- Mass (kg) — example: 12
- Tangential speed (m/s) — example: 8
- Radius (m) — example: 2.5
Results
- Rotating-frame centrifugal force magnitude (N)
- Centripetal acceleration magnitude (m/s²)
- Acceleration in g (g)
Formula used
Force magnitude = mv²/r in a rotating reference frame.
How to Use the Centrifugal Force Calculator
Enter the requested values, check the units and assumptions, then select Calculate Centrifugal Force. The built-in defaults provide a complete working example.
Formula
Force magnitude = mv²/r in a rotating reference frame.
Understanding the Results
The primary answer appears first. Supporting outputs show related quantities, conversions, dates, costs, ratios, or intermediate values. Calculations keep additional precision before display rounding.
Accuracy Tips
- Use measured values and consistent units.
- Review assumptions, rates, timing, and efficiency inputs.
- Recalculate after changing any condition.
