Particles of mass 10\(^{-2}\)kg is fixed to the tip of a fan blade which rotates with angular velocity of 100rad\(^{-1}\). If the radius of the blade is 0.2m, the centripetal force is?
2N
20N
200N
400N
Correct answer is B
Given
m = 10\(^{-2}\)
w = 100rads\(^{-1}\)
F = mw\(^{2}\)r
r = 0.2m
F = ?
= 10\(^{-2}\) x (100)\(^{2}\) x 0.2
= 20N
