Coordinate transform to exploit symmetry
I have a stochastic process that can be described the following master-equation:
$$
\partial_{t}P(x,y)=-\left(W_{12}(x,y)+W_{13}(x,y)+W_{21}(x,y)+W_{23}(x,y)+W_{31}(x,y)+W_{32}(x,y)\right)P(x,y)\\

How does upwards acceleration affect tension on whirling mass?
Consider the following setup and problem:
When solving this problem, I had the intuition that the string tension $T_A$ would be equal to $T_B$, which does not agree with the solutions.
What would ...
