ā–  Tension (T) points to center.
ā–  Gravity (mg) points down.
If T drops to 0 before the top, the string slacks and it becomes a projectile!

Interactive 3D View: Click and drag to rotate the camera. Scroll to zoom. Angular vectors (Ļ‰, L) point strictly perpendicular to the plane of rotation, governed by the Right-Hand Rule.
ā€¢ a_t changes the magnitude of velocity (speed).
ā€¢ a_r changes the direction of velocity to keep it in the circle.
