STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This investigatory project is a miniature flying fiesta which aims to
determine, how to make an improvised model of a flying fiesta and
how it can help incoming fourth year students to easily understand the
principles of centripetal force.

RELATED LITERATURE
Flying fiesta is a ride where when the structure starts to spin the
swinging arms begins to rise and pull away from the structure. The
spinning is what you call the centripetal force. Centripetal force comes
from the Latin word “centrum” which means “center” and “petere”
which means “to seek”. It is a force that makes a body follows a curved
path: it is always directed orthogonal to the velocity of the body,
toward the instantaneous center of curvature of the path. Isaac
Newton's description was: "A centripetal force is that by which bodies
are drawn or impelled or in any way tend, towards a point as to a
center." The centripetal force is supplied by gravity. Some sources,
including Newton, refer to the entire gravitational force as a centripetal
force, even for non-circular orbits, for which gravity is not aligned with
the direction to the center of curvature. The centripetal force can also
be supplied as a 'push' force such as in the case where the normal
reaction of a wall supplies the centripetal force for a wall of death
rider. Another example of centripetal force arises in the helix which is
traced out when a charged particle moves in a uniform magnetic field
in the absence of other external forces. In this case, the magnetic force
is the centripetal force which acts towards the helix axis.
