    The document summarizes equations for centripetal force, tangential velocity, and work done by a centripetal force. It shows that the tangential velocity at a radius r is equal to the initial velocity times the initial radius over r. The centripetal force is equal to the mass times the tangential velocity squared over the radius. The work done by this force from an inner radius r0 to an outer radius R is equal to half the mass times the initial velocity squared times the initial radius squared times (1/R^2 - 1/r0^2).

    By conservation of momentum

    mv0 r0 = mvr,

    thus at radius r the tangential component of velocity is:


    v0 r0
    v(r) = .
    r
    The centripetal force at radius r is given by

    mv 2 mv02 r02
    Fc (r) = = .
    r r3
    The work done is given by the component of force in the direction of displace-

    2 R2 r0

    1 Minus sign needed on the next line because force is inwards, but positive change in dr is

    outwards.
