    With the increase in diameter of the root, the effective RCF (Relative Centrifugal Force) at a fixed RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) will

    A)  remain unaffected

    B)  increase

    C)  decrease

    D)  be lower at the bottom of the centrifugal tube

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Centrifugal force will be equal and opposite to the centripetal force \[F\text{ }=m\,{{\omega }^{2}}r\] where, \[m\]= Mass of the rotor \[\omega =\] Angular frequency As, \[m\]and \[\omega \]  remains constant \[F\propto r\] Thus, with the increase in diameter (2r) the centripetal force and, the centrifugal force will increase.
