Three conceptual questions on centripetal acceleration in a cone

[QUOTE="haruspex, post: 6381667, member: 334404"] If the object is maintaining its height then the normal force must supply both the vertical force to balance mg and the horizontal force to provide the centripetal acceleration. Centripetal force is defined as that component of the net force which is normal to the velocity. If angled down, I would assume there is also some tangential acceleration, so the net force is more than just the centripetal force. Speed is increasing and radius decreasing. Both will increase the centripetal force, and that implies an increase in normal force. [/QUOTE]
