Question on: JAMB Physics - 2021

Particles of mass 10\(^{-2}\)kg is fixed to the tip of a fan blade which rotates with angular velocity of 100rad\(^{-1}\). If the radius of the blade is 0.2m, the centripetal force is?

A

2N

B

20N

C

200N

D

400N

Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B

Given:

m = 10\(^{-2}\)
w = 100rads\(^{-1}\)
F = mw\(^{2}\)r
r = 0.2m

= 10\(^{-2}\) x (100)\(^{2}\) x 0.2

= 20N
