Define centripetal force?

What is centripetal force ?

Assertion : If the earth stops rotating about its axis, the value of the weight of the body at equator will decrease. Reason : The centripetal force does not act on the body at the equator.

The fastest possible rate of rotation of a planet is that for which the gravitational force on material at the equator just nearly provides the centripetal force needed for rotation. The corresponding shortest period of rotation is (If rho is the density of the earth)

A particle of mass 0.5kg is rotating in a circular path of radius 2m and centripetal force on it is 9 Newtons. Its angular momentum (in J-sec) is:
