Where Will the Candlelight Go?: Investigating Centrifugal Force

[korec123]

Homework Statement

Horizontal plate is rolling around its horizontal axis. On the plate few meters away from this axis there is a jar with a burning candle inside

Homework Equations

Where would go the candlelight/flame , i mean which side would it turn and why

The Attempt at a Solution

I think there are 2 answers for me at the moment.
Normal centrifugal force and the flame would try to escape from this rolling plate (haha i can't say this another way)
Or it wouldn't move beacose jar is new environment/center which don't lead inertial force or flame which is gas beacose of jar wouldn't have to push the air.

Hello korec123. Welcome to PF !

I think you need to do a more thorough job of describing the situation here.

Can you post an image for this?

I'm going to guess this is a round horizontal plate spinning on its vertical axis.
Think of a marble in the jar. Where will it go? Why?
A flame is less dense than air. Where will it go?

 

[korec123]

Hmm, i if there would be a marble , it will go with a jar outside the plate , going with this flame would go opposite way , i mean it would move towards vertical axis.
But what if candle and jar can't move?

But what if candle and jar can't move?

I think the problem assumes the jar is stuck to the plate and the candle is stuck to the bottom of the jar.

 

[korec123]

so am i right?

Yes.
