Solution

Centrifugal Force

Explanation:

The centrifugal force is an apparent outward force that acts on an object moving in a circular path, such as a rotating object like the Earth. This force pushes objects away from the center of rotation, which is why, for example, the Earth is slightly flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator due to its rotation.
