My comment about a centripetal force moving outwards along the string was plain stupidity!!! No, Jeff, you just made a mistake. We all make mistakes. It's the way we learn. Originally Posted by jeff I believe that there is no centripetal force moving in either direction along the string. More yet to learn. Originally Posted by jeff I believe that centripetal force is better defined as a force that causes an orbiting object to travel in a circular path rather than a straight line path. Gettin' there now. Originally Posted by jeff Consider my orbiting ball example again. Thanks, Jeff, but no thanks. I'll leave that privilege for others. __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage! Find all posts by Yoda
