Answer:
Toward the centre of the circular path
Explanation:
The can is moved in a circular path: this means that it is moving by circular motion (uniform circular motion if its tangential speed is constant).
In order to keep a circular motion, an object must have a force that pushes it towards the centre of the circular trajectory: this force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by
[tex]F=m\frac{v^2}{r}[/tex]
where m is the mass of the object, v its tangential speed, r the radius of the trajectory. This force always points towards the centre of the circular path.
