[QUOTE="Orodruin, post: 6815438, member: 510075"] The point is that the apparent gravitational field in the rotating system [I]includes[/I] the centrifugal force. The apparent gravitational force is obviously not parallel to neither the gravitational force nor to the centrifugal force except when those two are parallel. You cannot make the centrifugal force parallel to the gravitational force by wishing it to be so and if you want to change conventions around you are just going to confuse people. The centrifugal force has a commonly accepted definition, which is therefore what should be used. [/QUOTE]
