Technician a says that the water pump is a centripetal pump. technician b says that centripetal force is the outward force that is exerted on a rotating object. who is correct?

Technician A is correct about the water pump being a centripetal pump and the definition of the centripetal force given by technician B is wrong. The force that happens on a body moving in a circular path and move towards the centre to which the body is moving is called as centripetal force. So it’s not an outward force.
