Question

If a stone is being spun tied to a string, is the tension in the string the centripetal force?​

Answer 1

Until the stone is tied to a string, due to tension in string, it have centripetal force and centrifugal force along in radial direction of motion so when the rope breaks, it doesn't have force in radial direction so due to inertia the stones flies off tangentially.

Answer 2

It will have centripetal force due to the tension in the string and a centrifugal force as well.
