Experiment description
This experiment demonstrates centripetal force by rotating a small mass tied to a rope in a horizontal circle. The speed of rotation and the length of the rope can be changed to observe their effect on circular motion. When the rope is cut, the mass moves off in a straight line tangential to the circle, showing that an inward force is required to maintain circular motion.
