This centripetal force reference table shows the centripetal force for a range of mass values, assuming a speed of 5 m/s and a radius of 3 m. Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Centripetal Force Calculator, so the numbers are exact.

How to use this table
Find the row closest to your mass and read across to the centripetal force. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Centripetal Force Calculator for a precise answer.
Need a value that is not in the table? — the Centripetal Force Calculator does it instantly, for free, with the formula and a worked example built in.
