Angular Force Calculator:
Enter the values of mass, m(kg), velocity, v(m/s) and radius, r(m) to determine the value of Angular force, F(N).
Angular Force Formula:
Angular force is a force that acts on an object moving in a circular path or rotating about a fixed axis. It is associated with the concept of rotational motion and is an important factor in determining the dynamics of rotating bodies. The force applied tangentially to the rotating object can result in angular acceleration, changing the object’s rotational speed.
The amount of angular force depends on the mass of the object, its velocity, and the radius of the circular path. In physics, angular force is usually referred to as torque or moment of force, which is responsible for changing the rotational motion of an object.
Angular force is often used in applications such as wheels, gears, and turbines, where rotational motion is involved. The force required to maintain a rotating object depends on the distribution of mass and the distance from the axis of rotation.
Torque is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction, and its effect can be measured by how much it causes an object to rotate or accelerate around an axis.
Angular force, F(N) in Newtons equals the mass, m(kg) of the object multiplied by the square of its velocity, v(m/s) in metres per second divided by the radius, r(m) in metres of the circular path.
Angular force, F(N) = m(kg) * v2(m/s) / r(m)
F(N) = angular force in Newtons, N.
m(kg) = mass in kilograms, kg.
v(m/s) = velocity in metres per second, m/s.
r(m) = radius in metres, m.
Angular Force Calculation:
- Given: m(kg) = 2kg, v(m/s) = 5m/s, r(m) = 3m.
Angular force, F(N) = m(kg) * v2(m/s) / r(m)
F(N) = 2 * 52 / 3
F(N) = 2 * 25 / 3
F(N) = 16.67N.
- Given: m(kg) = 1kg, v(m/s) = 20m/s, F(N) = 100N.
Angular force, F(N) = m(kg) * v2(m/s) / r(m)
r(m) = 1 * 202 / 100
r(m) = 4000 / 100
r(m) = 4m.
