a car of mass 1200 kg travels at steady speed of 22m/s around a bend of radius 50 m find the centripetal force required ?
To find the centripetal force required for a car traveling around a bend, you can use the formula:
F = (m * v^2) / r
Where:
F is the centripetal force (in Newtons)
m is the mass of the car (in kilograms)
v is the velocity of the car (in meters per second)
r is the radius of the bend (in meters)
In this case, the mass of the car is given as 1200 kg, the velocity is 22 m/s, and the radius is 50 m. Plugging these values into the formula, we can calculate the centripetal force required:
F = (1200 kg * (22 m/s)^2) / 50 m
F = (1200 * 484) / 50
F = 58080 / 50
F = 1161.6 N
Therefore, the centripetal force required for the car to travel around the bend is approximately 1161.6 Newtons.
