Centrifugal force
text:
Centrifugal force is a fictitious force in Newtonian mechanics that appears to act on all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference. It is directed radially away from the axis of rotation. The magnitude of centrifugal force F on an object of mass m at the distance r from the axis of rotation of a frame of reference rotating with angular velocity ω is: F = m ω 2 r This fictitious force is often applied to rotating devices, such as centrifuges, centrifugal pumps, centrifugal governors,
