Comment: thanks for reply. So, where is the centripetal force(seeking
centre for rotation) in this case to cause circular motion? or, which
one is the centripetal force in this particular case? Appreciate your
clarification. thanks. gk

Well, centripetal force is more general name. Centripetal force is a
force "seeking" center of rotation. In our answer we've considered
specific case - motion on the circular surface, but there could be
also, say,& motion on the rope.

Comment: We were told that force F shown is Centripetal force while
you called it normal reaction of the surface of circle. Kindly advise.
