Centripetal force is the component of force acting on an object in curvilinear motion which is directed towards the axis of rotation or center of curvature. For this experiment : Take a rectangular or square shaped thin sheet. Take a screwdriver or something to make four holes in each corner of the rectangular shape sheet. Now take four equal sized ropes and connect to each hole. Now tie the other ends of the rope by leveling the board to ground like this and tape it.. We will test the Centripetal force phenomena with different objects like Iphone 6, 12 and 11.
