Step-by-step explanation:
When a body is moving in a circular path then a force acts on it and this force is directed towards the center around the moving object.
Mathematically, F =

where F = force
m = mass
v = velocity
r = radius
The term
is the centripetal acceleration.
Also, expression for centripetal force can be
, where
represents acceleration of centripetal force.
Whereas both the expressions F =
and F =
are not a correct equation for centripetal force.
