The balance of centripetal and centrifugal forces acting on the object enables it to continue moving along the circular path.

There are two forces that act on the object as it is being swirled by the rope above the man's head. These two forces are;

  • Centripetal force which acts towards the center of the circular path thereby preventing the object from being thrown out
  • Centrifugal force which acts away from the center of the circular path and causes the object to be thrown out of the circular path.

When the centripetal force and centrifugal force are exactly balanced, the object remains in the circular path.
