Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Using Figure 13.9, carefull sketch a free body diagram for the case of a simple pendulum hanging at latitude lambda, labeling all forces acting on the point mass,m.

Show that the period of orbit for two masses, m1 and m2 , in circular orbits of radii r1 and r2 , respectively, about their common center-of mass, is given by T=2r3G(m1+m2) where r=r1+r2 . (Hint: The masses orbit at radii r1 and r2 , respectively where r=r1+r2 . Use the expression for the center-of-mass to relate the two radii and note that the two masses must have equal but opposite momenta. Start with the relationship of the period to the circumference and speed of orbit for one of the masses. Use the result of the previous problem using momenta in the expression for the kinetic energy.)
