Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Any object moving in a circle (or along a circular path) experiences a centripetal force. That is, there is some physical force pushing or pulling the object towards the center of the circle. This is the centripetal force requirement.
Detailed explanation-2: -Centripetal force is defined as the force acting on a body that is moving in a circular path that is directed toward the center around which the body moves.
