Mechanical Engineering QUESTION #2448
Question 1
The centrifugal force \(F_0\) generated by an unbalanced rotating mass \(m_0\) at eccentricity \(r\) rotating at speed \(p\) (rad/s) is:
  • \(F_0 = m_0 r p\)
  • \(F_0 = m_0 r p^2\)✔️
  • \(F_0 = m_0 r^2 p\)
  • \(F_0 = m_0 g r\)
Correct Answer Explanation
The centrifugal force from an unbalanced rotating mass: \(F_0=m_0 r p^2\), where \(m_0\) is the unbalance mass, \(r\) is the eccentricity, and \(p\) is the angular speed.
