[QUOTE="Fast1one, post: 1840828, member: 567387"] Centrifigal (spelled wrong im sure lol) force may not be real, but centripital force is. When an object is spinning, like your CD for instance, a force is applied to the outside of the force which points INWARD or towards the center. Lets assume your spinning an object perpendicular to the ground. At the top of the spining object, the CD feels "blank" Gs (depending of how fast its spinnning) of force towards the ground PLUS a second downard force of 1G (gravity, also towards the ground). This totals to more than one G. At the bottom of the spinning object, the CD encounters an UPWARD force of "blank" Gs MINUS the 1G of gravity again. The forces are going in an opposite direction so we SUBTRACT. This totals to less than one G....This creates an imbalance. A small one but it still exists. However, If the object is spun on a horizontal plane the CD feels the same force all around. Too prowler, although its true that you feel less force spinning a wheel Horizontally or Vertically than at an angle, you feel LESS force spnning the wheel Horizontally than Verticaly......
