Hi,I was reading about the centripetal and centrifugal forces then I felt a bit of contradiction in the explanations. It is said that the centripetal and centrifugal forces are the action-reaction pair of Newton's 3rd law and so they never act upon the same body.Centripetal force is acted upon the body that is rotating in a circular path and the centrifugal force is acted upon the centre of the circular path.But we can see the effect of the centrifugal force not the centripetal force on the rotating body apparently. Because, it's the centrifugal force that tries to draw the body outwards the circle. Please make it clear.
