THis type of tachometre is also knowm as flyball tachometre. The basic principle of this tachometre is that the centrifugal force is directly proportional to the shaft speed . Two fly-balls whose weights are small are used in this tachometre and hence it is called flyball tachometre . These two balls are used in developing centrifugal force. In this case the spring is compressed as function of shaft speed. It is noted that one end of the spring is connected to the sleeve and moved smoothly on spindle . The position of the sleeve is indicated as the speed of rotating shaft. The motion of the sleeve is amplified and it indicates the speed with the help of a pointer on scale. This type of tachometer is also used for linear speed measurements , with necessary attachments mounted on the spindle . For obtaining speed over wide range , this type of tachometer uses multiple range units. A gear train is used between the fly balls to complete the change from one range to another range . The draw back ofthe tachometer is overspeed which seriously damage the instrument . This type of tachometers are widely used for measuring of shaft speeds upto 40×10^3 rpm . Its accaracy is + or - 1% of full scale.

Are centrifugal force and Reactive Centrifugal force the same thing?

Reactive centrifugal force is not the same thing as centrifugal force. Reactive centrifugal force is the reaction force. It is the reaction force reacting to a centripetal force.


What is centrifugal force a measure of?

Centrifugal force is a measure of the opposite reaction of a centripetal force.


Is centrifugal a force?

The centrifugal force is an apparent (ficticious) force, caused by a rotational movement. The amount of the apparent centrifugal force can be calculated by the same formula as the amount of the real centripetal force.


How can you use centrifugal in a sentence?

Centrifugal force is often confused with centripetal force.


Centrifugal force where it is been used?

Centrifugal force increases with?

Centrifugal force increases with increasing speed and radius of rotation. The faster an object moves in a circular path or the larger the radius of rotation, the stronger the centrifugal force acting on the object.


Is Gravity is example of a centrifugal force?

No, gravity is not an example of a centrifugal force. Gravity is the force of attraction between objects with mass, while centrifugal force is the outward force experienced in a rotating reference frame.


Types of centrifugal force?

Centrifugal force can refer to two types: 1) Pseudo centrifugal force, which is the perceived force felt in a rotating reference frame due to inertia, and 2) Centrifugal force in mechanics, which is the outward force experienced by an object moving in a curved path.

What is G in centrifugal force 2000 G?

In the context of centrifugal force, "G" is a unit of measurement representing the force of gravity. When something experiences centrifugal force of 2000 G, it means the force applied to it is 2000 times that of Earth's gravitational force.
