Its not a new type of force. Just like we use Fnet generally to
describe the forces that accelerate an object linearly. The Fc is just
“Fnet in circular situations”.
RECALL !!
The regular forces, 𝐹𝑔 , 𝐹𝑇 , 𝐹𝑁 , 𝐹𝑆 .
Gravitational force, 𝑭𝒈 = W = mg: downward to the ground
Normal force 𝑭𝑵 : perpendicular to the surface
Tension force 𝑭𝑻 : along the cord and away from object
Static friction force 𝑭𝑺 : fs = µsN
Intro:
• The concept of circular
motion can be used for 𝑎𝑐
an object moving along
any curved path , as a
small segment of the
path will be
approximately circular.
TIPS:
Remember that the FC (net force) on the object is ALWAYS directed
towards the center of the circle, no matter where the object is
located in its circular path.

Two ways to solve by using FBD and 2nd Newton’s Law, 𝐹𝑐 = 𝑚 :

1. Put ’+ve’ sign for all the forces that having direction towards
the center and ‘–ve’ sign for forces that outside the circle.
2. .Upward as ’+ve’ sign and downward as ‘–ve’ sign … but this
might be confusing in certain situations

A roller coaster car going around a loop works exactly like a
bucket on a string.
The only difference is that instead of tension, there is a normal
force exerted on the car. At TOP

2. Sphere of fear:
The basic design consist of a metal cage in the shape of a sphere that
is big enough to allow a motorcycle or two to ride around inside. If the
rider goes fast enough they can even ride upside–down or around the
side of the sphere without falling.
a) Find the force exerted by the steel cage on the motorcycle at the
top and bottom of the cage.

Example 1: Unbanked Curves
Solution:
d). If the µ static for the road is 0.20, will the car make the turn?
0.20 0.40; No, the car will not make the turn.
There is not sufficient friction from the road to keep the car on
the circular road.
e). What is the maximum speed the car can have and still make the
turn with µ = 0.6?
