Centrifugal G Force Calculator, Formula, Centrifugal G Force Calculation

Centrifugal G Force Calculator:

Enter the values of tangential velocity, V_(m/s), radius of the circular path, r_(m) and acceleration due to gravity, G_(m/s2) to determine the value of centrifugal G force, F_gc(N).

Centrifugal G Force Formula:

Centrifugal G-force is a measure of the outward force on a mass as it moves in a circular path.

Centrifugal G force, F_gc(N) in Newton is equated by dividing the product of square of tangential velocity, V_(m/s) in metre per second by radius of the circular path, r_(m) in metres and acceleration due to gravity,  G_(m/s2) in metre per second squared.

Centrifugal G force, F_gc(N) = V²_(m/s) / r_(m) * G_(m/s2)

F_gc(N) = centrifugal G force in Newton, N.

V_(m/s) = tangential velocity in metre per second, m/s.

r_(m) = radius of the circular path in metre, m.

G_(m/s2) = acceleration due to gravity in metre per second squared, m/s². (9.81 m/s² on the surface of the Earth)

Centrifugal G Force Calculation:

1. A high-speed train is traveling at a speed of 90 metres per second (m/s) around a curve with a radius of 1,000 metres. Calculate the centrifugal G-force experienced by the passengers.

Given: V_(m/s) = 90m/s,  r_(m) =1000m,  G_(m/s2) = 9.81m/s².

Centrifugal G force, F_gc(N) = V²_(m/s) / r_(m) * G_(m/s2)

F_gc(N) = 90² / 1000 * 9.81

F_gc(N) = 0.826N.

2. The centrifugal force is 2, the velocity is 20 m/s, and the acceleration due to gravity, is approximately 9.81m/s².

Given: V_(m/s) = 20m/s,  F_gc(N) = 2N, G_(m/s2) = 9.81m/s².

Centrifugal G force, F_gc(N) = V²_(m/s) / r_(m) * G_(m/s2)

r_(m) = V²_(m/s) / F_gc(N) * G_(m/s2)

r_(m) = 20² / 2 * 9.81

r_(m) = 20.39m.
