Whats difference between Centripetal and Centrifugal force?
Sanny Going with "centriptal force" it is a force attracting a body
towards its center around which it revolves Going with "centrifugal force" That is the inertial reaction of a body against a force constraining it to move in a curve path. Much like holding a handle of a bucket of water and swirling it over head upside down but not losing a drop of water. Reality is water is not flat as it would be if just sitting on the ground.Spinning gives it a concave curve) That told Mach something and he came up with a very nice theory it goes like this. "there is no such thing as centrifugal force." Like me Mach was very clever,and thought things out O ya TreBert |

There must be a way to make a complicated math problem out of this. Double-A |

Double A never had enough schooling to fit math in to much of my
thinking. I understand an equation. Here is a kicker. I can relate that water curve to two pendulum clocks that have to end up swinging in unison if they are sitting at the Earth's poles. go figure trebert PS both have to obey "Mach's principle" |
