Calculate the centripetal force (in N) on the end of a 53 m (radius) wind turbine blade that is rotating at 0.2 rev/s. Assume the mass is 7 kg.
Definition Definition Force on a body along the radial direction. Centripetal force is responsible for the circular motion of a body. The magnitude of centripetal force is given by F C = m v 2 r m = mass of the body in the circular motion v = tangential velocity of the body r = radius of the circular path
