Abstract:We describe an experimental set-up for studying and determining the centripetal force
acting on a body whose mass and radius of circular trajectory are known. The experimental
behaviour is determined and compared with theoretical predictions by using a system that
allows for the evaluation of the angular velocity by means of electric current measurements,
and by assuming a potential dependence of the force on the body mass, radius and angular
velocity.
