CENTRIFUGAL FORCE
1.The pseudo force which acts radially outwards on the body moving along a circle is called centrifugal force.
2.Even through centripetal and centrifugal forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction,they do not form action-reaction pair.They act on the same body in two different frames.
3.An observer can observe centrifugal force when he is also moving along with the body which is moving along a circle.
4.Magnitude of centrifugal force is equal to that of centripetal force.
5.Every person on the earth is moving in a circular path along with the spinning earth.So.every person experiences a centrifugal force.
6.Due to centrifugal force the earth is bulged at the equator and falttened at the poles.
7.Watt’s governer is used to control the flow of steam in the steam engine,It works on the principle of centrifugal force.
8.Cream can be separated from milk using centrifuge.Wet clothes can be dried by the centrifuge.
