| Mar 9, 2020 at 21:56 | comment | added | John Alexiou | @AaronStevens yes it does because a pseudo force only affects the COM motion and has no effect on the net torque on the body. | |
| Mar 9, 2020 at 20:48 | comment | added | BioPhysicist | Just because a force affects COM motion doesn't mean it acts through the COM though | |
