Say I have an airplane that is performing a loop at a constant speed. Why is it that at the top of the loop the normal force points inward and not upward due to the lift of the plane?
That way, at the top of the loop, when the pilot is upside down, he feels lighter due to the lift of the plane and the seat which is attached to the plane moving upwards and the gravitational force pulling the pilot downwards.
