Would a curved universe require a centipetal force to keep galaxies on its nonrectilinear surface?

No. You obviously misuderstand the concept of a "curved" universe, probably imagining it like the 2-D surface on a 3-D sphere. This actually isn't too bad of a way to view it, but it has its problems -- caused mainly by taking the mathematical analogy too far. A Friedmann Universe -- ie, one like the one we're now in -- can be mathematically curved but without a surface, and without any other dimension into which this curvature is (well) curving. Even in a universe that was 2-D and closed (ie, a sphere), and its mass was constrained to the surface of a sphere, then no force would be needed to keep that mass on the surface. That mass could no more leave the surface of the sphere then you could walk outside of the three spatial dimensions of our Universe.

What forces is the strongest force in nature Electrical force gravitational force nuclear force magnetic force?

The fundamental forces are the gravitational force, the strong force, the weak force, and the electromagnetic force. Therefore, wind is not a fundamental force.


What is the meaning of centripetal force?

Answer It is the force which keeps a body moving in circular motion. Centripetal force is the force that acts opposite to cetrifugal force. Centripetal force is a real force. Centrifugal force is a pseudo-force


Is centri petal force pseudo force?

No. The centrifugal force is a pseudoforce or a ficticious force; the centripetal force is a real force.


Does a balanced force have a net force equal to the largest force?

A balanced force will have a net force that is equal to 0. A balanced force will have an opposing force of equal magnitude of the largest force.
