Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

The frame of reference is rotating with a uniform angular speed , so it has an acceleration towards the center and

it’s a non-inertial plane. So, we must apply a pseudo force equal to to the particle but opposite to the direction of the acceleration

of the frame. This pseudo force itself is the centrifugal force on the particle.
