On a mass ‘m’ describing a circular path of radius ‘r’, the centrifugal force

A Acts tangentially to the circular path
B Acts towards the centre of rotation
C Acts away from the centre of rotation
D Is $$\frac{{{\text{m}}{{\text{w}}^{2{\text{r}}}}}}{g}{\text{kfg}}$$

Correct Answer: Acts away from the centre of rotation

The centrifugal force on a mass 'm' describing a circular path of radius 'r' acts away from the centre of rotation. It is given by the formula:
F = (m * w^2 * r) / g
Where:
F is the centrifugal force
m is the mass
w is the angular velocity
r is the radius of the circular path
g is the acceleration due to gravity
kfg is not relevant to the context and seems to be a typo or irrelevant notation in the provided options.
Therefore, the correct option is:
Option C: Acts away from the centre of rotation
