Centrifugal force is a force arising due to inertia of a body which appears to act on a body moving in a circular path and is directed away fro the center. Centrifugal force occurs as an opposite force to balance centripetal force(directed towards center).
Since Inertia is directly proportional to mass the heavier particle tend to sediment,this is the principle of centrifugation. Common examples of centrifgation: Formation of butter from curd, blood plasma from blood during blood test
