Undergrad Direction of Centrifugal Force?
I am trying to understand how centrifugal force works when applied to a train. For example, if I had a train that had zero super elevation, was traveling along a curve, of some radius at some speed then the centrifugal force acting on the train would be of a certain magnitude which would act...- tomtomtom123

Does centrifugal force have a gradient
Hello I was wondering if centrifugal force had a gradient, what i mean by this is this:- A train is traveling on a straight section of track with no centrifugal force. The train then travels along a transition, as the train travels along the transition, the centrifugal force builds up...- tomtomtom123
