Solution

The correct options are
A

The centripetal force will not suffer any change in magnitude


C

The centripetal force will not suffer any change in direction


Centripetal force = mv2r and is directed always towards the centre of circle. Sense of rotation does not affect magnitude and direction of this centripetal force.
