Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

Centripetal force is a force that makes an object follow curved path.

F subscript c equals fraction numerator m v squared over denominator r end fraction

Where,

F= centripetal force

m = mass of the object

v = velocity of the object

r = radius of the curved path
