Abstract
If a particle is constrained to move on a sphere, the projection of its acceleration at P upon the tangent plane at P is here called its tangential acceleration. The line of action of the tangential acceleration touches a great circle; if O is a point on this great circle, the tangential acceleration at P is said to be directed to O. A tangential acceleration which is always directed to a fixed point O is called a central tangential acceleration.
