Question

If you shorten the length of the chain, keep other variables constant, and repeat the experiment, how will the centripetal force change? Explain the relationship between centripetal force and the length of the chain.

Answer 1

We would have that the shorter the lenght of the chain then the greater the centripetal force. The relationship of these is inversely proportional, the shorter the lenght of the chain would mean the greater the force as long as the other paramenters are kept constant.
