Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Hi, today I had my engineering mechanics 1 test which I completely screwed up. I was quite confident in the uniform circular motion, but I had this problem in my exam which completely confused me. When I read "upward vertical acceleration" my head just start to spin as I couldn't understand what force could cause an upward acceleration. Could you help me with this problem? I bet it is easier than it looks, but still, I am confused about what is asking me and most importantly about the input it is giving me. I don't have my exam paper with me, but on my body diagram, I knew that on the aeroplane were exerted the Force of Contact Fn1 and the Force m1g in the y opposite direction. On the pilot was acting the Force of Contact with the seat of the aeroplane Fn2 and the m2g in the y opposite direction.
