Lab 6: Centripetal Force—Formal Report
Introduction:
Objects in rotational motion require a force to constrain their motion to an axis. This is a
widely applicable concept known as Centripetal Force (Smith, 2023). Some examples of where it
occurs include launching a satellite in space, a banked roadway, the tension in the rope on a
tetherball, and the spinning of tubes in a centrifuge (Tuskegee University, 2020).
As an object rotates around an axis, its velocity is constantly changing in direction, and it
also moves in a circular path at a constant speed. When the given object with mass (M) experiences
a constant force (F
c
) acting perpendicularly to this motion, these properties create uniform circular
motion, which can otherwise be described as Centripetal Force. This motion can be further
described by accounting for the distance from the axis of rotation (r) and the amount of time it takes
to complete a full revolution (the period, T) (Portland State University: Department of Physics,
2023).
Centripetal Force can be represented by the following equation, taking into account the
previously described variables:

The following experiment aims to verify the relationship between the variables of mass,
force, and radius as represented by
Equation 1
. It is hypothesized that the system will behave in
accordance with the concept of centripetal force, as modeled by
Equation 1
.
Experimental Procedure:
The experiment requires the manipulation of the three variables Mass, Force, and Radius.
These are manipulated one at a time, as the independent variable, and the other factors stay
constant. In this case, the time it took to complete a full revolution, or the period, is the dependent
variable. The experiment involves an apparatus that sits level on an axle, with a spring suspended
from the center. This spring is connected to a mass denoted as (M), which hangs from the side at a
distance of (r) centimeters from the center via a string and pulley system. At the opposite end of this
apparatus, there is a second pulley, and a mass is attached to the central mass, as illustrated in
Figure 1
.
Figure 1.
Diagram of the Centripetal Force apparatus used in the experiment.
The initial variable tested was mass. Here, we incrementally increased the mass suspended
from the side post in the experiment. Following the adjustment of the mass, the apparatus
underwent recalibration before beginning the rotations. We started the experiments with a mass of
111 grams and subsequently increased it by approximately 50 grams for each of the five
experiments, reaching a final mass of 313 grams.
For the second independent variable tested, force, we altered the mass suspended from the
side of the apparatus for each trial. As we increased the hanging masses, the applied centripetal
force needed to counteract the gravitational force from the hanging mass on the pulley also
increased. The values used, progressing from the lowest to the highest, were 50 grams, 70 grams, 90
grams, 100 grams, and finally 120 grams.
The last variable altered was the radius of the circular motion. To make this adjustment, we
relocated the side post from which the central mass hangs to different positions away from the
center of the apparatus. The radius values varied between 13 and 17 centimeters.
The experimental process uses the following general steps:
●
Modify the independent variable, which can be either the mass, the hanging mass
(pertaining to force), or the radius of the circular motion.
●
Attach a hanging mass to the central mass using a string to calibrate the experiment. For the
first and third experiments, a consistent mass is employed, while for the second experiment,
the hanging mass is changed in each trial.
●
Adjust the marker plate until it aligns with the disc positioned below the spring hanging
from the apparatus.
●
Rotate the apparatus until the central mass aligns with the side post.
●
Sustain the rotation and measure the time it takes for the apparatus to complete 10
revolutions, thereby obtaining an accurate measurement of the period (T).
Repeat the aforementioned steps an additional four times, altering the independent variable
in each trial, and meticulously documenting the data from each trial for subsequent analysis.
Data & Analysis:
During the data collection process in the lab, I noticed minimal variation in the motion as
the centripetal force apparatus completed 10 revolutions while the variables were manipulated.
This observation further reinforced my hypothesis that the system would adhere to the relationship
described by
Equation 1
, given the high degree of consistency in the motion.

Two nitro (NO,) groups are chemically bonded to a patch of surface. They can't move to another location on
the surface, but they can rotate (see sketch at right).
It turns out that the amount of rotational kinetic energy each NO, group can have is required to be a
multiple of s, where e= 1.0 x 10* J. In other words, each NO, group could have e of rotational kinetic
energy, or 26, or 3ɛ, and so forth – but it cannot have just any old amount of rotational kinetic energy.
