We consider wastewater treatment as a water use because it is so interconnected with the other uses of water.
Definition of Centripetal Force. Centripetal force is a force that makes an object follow a curved path. The direction of the force is oriented at a right angle to the direction of travel of the object, toward the center of the circle along which the object is moving.
The force responsible for the change in the direction of a body in turning motion is called the centripetal force and always has a direction towards the center of the circular path. The centripetal force is not an independent force in the way as forces such as weight, air resistance, etc., may be considered. In order for circular motion to be possible, some resultant force must be acting on the body with a direction always to the center of the circle. R is the radius of the circle.
