Problem

For the setup in the example in Section 13.5.2 (a particle moves with constant speed vv around the circle x2+y2=r2x^2 + y^2 = r^2, z=0z = 0, in the lab frame; at the instant the particle crosses the negative yy axis), find the 3-force and 4-force in both the lab frame and the instantaneous inertial frame of the particle. Verify that the 3-forces are related according to Eq. (13.22). (Solve this from scratch; don't just use the results from the example.)
