Respuesta :
When an object is in circular path then the net force on the object is always towards the center of the path
Now here the position of the tin is overhead above us
So the center of the circular path will lie just below it
So the net force is also in the direction of the center
So here we will have
Net force downwards towards the center
And this is along the direction of gravity
Now the correct answer is
parallel to gravity
Answer:
The correct choice is (A) Inward
Explanation:
A force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed towards the center around which the body is moving is called centripetal force. In the given case when we whirl a tin can in a horizontal circle overhead, the force that holds the can in the circular path acts in a direction inwards because it is the force that holds the tin to keep inside the circular path.
