what is the resultant force of centripetal and centrifugal force?
Answers
Answer: no resultant exists
Explanation: centripetal and centrifugal forces never act in a single frame of reference
Centripetal force is any force which provides radial acceleration to a particle and it acts when we examine a circular motion from an inertial frame that is a frame without any acceleration
Whereas
Centrifugal force isn't even a real force we only apply it to make our life easier and ease our calculations (it is a pseudo force) and we apply it when we examine any circular motion from a non inertial frame (most of the times with respect to the particle it self which is performing circular motion) that is a frame which has acceleration.
So since these forces never exist in a single frame there is no resultant of these forces .
