Teaching a conventional course, I must say I had the devil of a time trying
to get students to distinguish between an actual force (the force being
applied by a string and the force being applied by gravity) from the
centripetal component.
If you think your students have this figured out, give them a bob on a
string being swung in a vertical plane to solve and explain. I almost
guarantee a mish-mash.
