Detailed Solution

The force that keeps the stone moving along the circular path is called centripetal force.
When a stone is made to whirl around by tying it at one end of the thread, it is subjected to two forces, centripetal force, which acts towards the centre, and centrifugal force, which acts towards the outside.
The centripetal force keeps changing the direction of the stone, thereby keeping it in a circular motion.
