A particle of mass \mathrm{m} is rotating in a plane in circular path of radius \mathrm{r}. Its angular momentum is \mathrm{L}. The centripetal force acting on the particle is.
A) \frac{\mathrm{L}^{2}}{\mathrm{mr}}
B) \frac{\mathrm{L}^{2} \mathrm{~m}}{\mathrm{r}}
C) \frac{\mathrm{L}^{2}}{\mathrm{~m}^{2} \mathrm{r}^{2}}
D) \frac{\mathrm{L}^{2}}{\mathrm{mr}^{3}}
A particle of mass \mathrm{m} is rotating in a plane in circular path of radius \mathrm{r}. Its angular momentum is \mathrm{L}. The centripetal force acting on the particle is.
A) \frac{\mathrm{L}^{2}}{\mathrm{mr}}
B) \frac{\mathrm{L}^{2} \mathrm{~m}}{\mathrm{r}}
C) \frac{\mathrm{L}^{2}}{\mathrm{~m}^{2} \mathrm{r}^{2}}
D) \frac{\mathrm{L}^{2}}{\mathrm{mr}^{3}}

Correct option is D) \frac{\mathrm{L}^{2}}{\mathrm{mr}^{3}}
Centripetal force, F=\frac{\mathrm{mv}^{2}}{\mathrm{r}}=\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{r}} \frac{\mathrm{L}^{2}}{\mathrm{~m}^{2} \mathrm{r}^{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{L}^{2}}{\mathrm{mr}^{3}}
\left[\mathrm{As}, \mathrm{L}=\mathrm{mvr} \therefore \mathrm{v}=\frac{\mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{mr}}\right]
