Question

What is the direction in which centripetal force acts in?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Centripetal force is the component of force acting on an object in curvilinear motion which is directed toward 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 displacement of the object.

...follow me..

Answer 2

Answer: Centripetal force acts in the direction towards the centre of the circle, i.e. it pulls rotating object inwardly towards centre of circle,

While Centrifugal Force pushes the object towards outside region, hence these two forces balance each other and the object rotates.

Centripetal force is Perpendicular to the velocity component and all tangents.
