A rotating flywheel with its axis in the z direction. We consider the flywheel to be stationary and apply the equivalent radial centrifugal (inertial) force per unit volume is _____

A rotating flywheel with its axis in the z direction. We consider the flywheel to be stationary and apply the equivalent radial centrifugal (inertial) force per unit volume is _____
a) 2Πr
b) 4Πr2
c) ρrω2
d) ρω2

Answer: c
Explanation: The centrifugal force is an inertial force (also called a “fictitious” or “pseudo” force) directed away from the axis of rotation that appears to act on all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference.
