  • The principle of circular motion follows Newtonian mechanics. It can be stated that an object will move in a circle only when there is a centripetal force that continuously acts perpendicular to its tangential velocity. That changes the direction but not its speed. The inward acceleration a_c = v squared/r obeys Newton's laws and ensures circular path motion.

From the physics perspective, in uniform circular motion, speed and angular velocity are constant. That makes the angular acceleration and tangential acceleration are zero. Non-uniform motion, on the other hand, has varying speed and angular velocity, where angular acceleration is non-zero.

The period T is the time taken to complete one full revolution (2? radians). In uniform circular motion, it relates to angular velocity by? =2? /T and to tangential speed by v=? r=2? r/T .

Circular motion has the following characteristics.

  • Fixed radius with the same and constant distance from the centre
  • Constant speed, when the motion is uniform
  • A changing velocity vector with continuous direction of change
  • Centripetal acceleration that is directed radially inwards, while the force that causes it is the centripetal force that maintains the curved path

By N L M : T sin θ =   m ω 2 R - (1)

& R = l sin θ - (2)

From (1) & (2)

T s i n θ = m ω 2 l s i n θ

T = m ω 2 l

8 0 = ( 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 ) ω 2 × 2

8 0 0 2 = ω 2

ω 2 = 4 0 0

ω = 2 0 r a d / s e c

And, ω = 2 π N 2 π

N = 2 0 × 6 0 2 π

N = 6 0 0 π r p m = k π
