The expression for the centripetal acceleration for the vertical circle is [tex]a_c = \frac{T_1 + T_2 }{2m}[/tex].
In a vertical circular motion, the tension of the swing at the top of the circle is given as;
[tex]T_1 =m a_c_{top} - mg\\\\T_1 = ma_c - mg\\\\mg = ma_c - T_1[/tex]
The tension of the swing at the bottom of the circle is given as;
[tex]T_2 = ma_{bottom} + mg\\\\T_2 = ma_c + mg[/tex]
solve the two equations together;
[tex]T_2 =ma_c + ( ma_c -T_1)\\\\T_2 = ma_c + ma_c - T_1\\\\T_2 + T_1 = 2ma_c\\\\a_c = \frac{T_1 + T_2}{2m}[/tex]
Thus, the expression for the centripetal acceleration for the vertical circle is [tex]a_c = \frac{T_1 + T_2 }{2m}[/tex].
