Rotational force

Hi! We have a term 'rotational force', which is perhaps a force running something rotated. But 'rotating force' is weird and you don't say so? Do you think 'rotational force' would be basically better? (I googled and have found many results of rotational force on it.)

'Rotating force' sounds like the force is rotating lol?

I think you're looking for 'centripetal force', 'centrifugal force' or 'torque', actually.

Yes, but do you think 'rotational force' is roughly okay, too? (Don't be too strict to define it)

How about rotating force? Weird? My dictionary says so lol.
I'm preparing a test and I will be able to bring two dictionaries only. We can't use a PC or the Internet, so we are not required to use exactly correct terms very much.
