Introduction

Description in Newtonian mechanics, the Centrifugal Force is an inertial force that appears to act on
all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference. It is directed away from an axis passing
through the coordinate system’s origin and parallel to the axis of rotation. It also states that if a body
is travelling in a circular path there must be some force pushing or pulling it towards its centre of
rotation. This force that is acting towards the centre of rotation is known as Centrifugal force.
