Homework Statement
I have a doubt about the way to calculate the centrifugal acceleration for a point P that rotates with angular velocity ##w_1## wtr a inertial frame on a platform that rotates with angular velocity ##w## (##w_1>w)##. I want to find the centrifugal acceleration in the rotating frame.
Homework Equations
Centripetal force = - centrifugal force
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't have clear if I have to consider the relative angular velocity ##w_r=w_1-w##
and write ##a'_{centrifugal}=w_r^2 r##
or ##a_{centrifugal}=w_1^2 r- w^2 r##
