A frame of the reference that is accelerated with respect to an inertial frame of reference is called a non-inertial frame of reference. A coordinate system fixed on a circular disc rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular velocity $\omega$ is an example of a non-inertial frame of reference. The relationship between the force $\overrightarrow F $rot experienced by a particle of mass m moving on the rotating disc and the force $\overrightarrow F $in experienced by the particle in an inertial frame of reference is,

$\overrightarrow F $rot = $\overrightarrow F $in + 2m ($\overrightarrow v $rot $\times$ $\overrightarrow \omega $) + m ($\overrightarrow \omega $ $\times$ $\overrightarrow r $) $\times$ $\overrightarrow \omega $,

where, vrot is the velocity of the particle in the rotating frame of reference and r is the position vector of the particle with respect to the centre of the disc.
