SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the calculation of inertial force (Fi) in vertical and horizontal orientations. Participants clarify that the fundamental equation Fi = m.a applies regardless of the system's orientation. The total force (Fa) during vertical motion is expressed as Fa = Fm + Fg + Fi + Ff, with Ff being zero during ascent and descent. The gravitational force (Fg) is defined as Fg = mg.sin(Θ), emphasizing the need to account for gravitational effects when calculating forces in vertical motion.
