Say the force is 1g for an object rotating around an axis. If the object is a platform that is facing the center how would forces act on an item placed at different areas on the platform?
Thanks.

First of all, "1 g" is mass, not "force" or weight.
Zz.
G is a unit of acceleration, not force.
And angle.g is a rate of acceleration, G is a gravitational constant.
The rate of acceleration corresponds to speed2 / r. If the platform is flat, but orbiting around some central point, then speed and radius will be greater at the leading and trailing edges of the platform as opposed to the center.
I'm talking about units. g = 1G.g is a rate of acceleration, G is a gravitational constant.
