Options:

Centripetal force

Centrifugal force

Coulombic force

None of these

Correct Answer:

Centrifugal force

Explanation:

Centrifugal force: In applying the Newton's laws of motion, we have to consider some forces which cannot be assigned to any object in the surrounding. These forces are called pseudo force or inertial force. Centrifugal force is such a pseudo force. It is equal and opposite to the centripetal force.

Example: Cream separator, centrifugal drier work on the principle of centrifugal force.
