Define centripetal force and establish an expression for the same.

Explain what you understand by centripetal and centrifugal forces. Establish an expression for centripetal force.



What is meant by banking of roads? Why is it necessary? Deduce an expression for the angle of banking and hence show that a road of definite radius can be ideally banked for a particular value of highest speed.

Why centripetal forces are real forces and centrifugal force is called a pseudo force?
