Centrifugal force

Principle

A body with variable mass moves on a circular path with adjustable radius and variable angular velocity. The centrifugal force of the body will be measured as a function of these parameters.

Benefits

• Easy to read measures
• Several loadable weights enable variable set-up
• Freely set various steady rotational velocities

Tasks

Determination of the centrifugal force as a function

1. of the mass,
2. of the angular velocity,
3. of the distance from the axis of rotation to the centre of gravity of the car.
