Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A centripetal force is a net force that acts on an object to keep it moving along a circular path. An object moving in a circular motion is defined as rotating while doing so. The centripetal force pushes in the direction of the curve’s center, perpendicular to the object’s motion.
Detailed explanation-2: -Centripetal force is the force acting on an object in curvilinear motion directed towards the axis of rotation or centre of curvature. The unit of centripetal force is newton. The centripetal force is always directed perpendicular to the direction of the object’s displacement.
