Hello everyone,
Consider a weight tied to a string spinning in a horizontal circle.
According to Newton's third law, the force of the string on the weight (inward) is opposite and equal to the force of the weight on the string (outward).
If this is the case, how can there be a net acceleration inward?
Thanks.
