12. Rotational Kinematics / Types of Acceleration in Rotation / Problem 5

Imagine a drone with mass m flying in a circle of radius r. Its speed changes over time according to atana_{tan} = a + bt2, where a and b are constants and t is time in seconds. Starting with an initial speed v0 at t=0, find the formulas for the tangential force (FtanF_{tan} ) and radial force (FRF_R ) acting on the drone for any time t greater than 0.
