A

$pmr$

B

$\frac{{rm}}{p}$

C

$\frac{{m{p^2}}}{r}$

D

$\frac{{{p^2}}}{{rm}}$

A particle of mass $m$ is executing uniform circular motion on a path of radius $r$. If $p$ is the magnitude of its linear momentum. The radial force acting on the particle is

Radial force $ = \frac{{m{v^2}}}{r} = \frac{m}{r}{\left( {\frac{p}{m}} \right)^2} = \frac{{{p^2}}}{{mr}}$ [As $p = mv$]
