I would think that in most discussions where one first defines carefully what each word, like "force" and "weight" really mean.... you will find, that what you "feel" in a turn is referred to as "
apparent weight".
So yes, it can be "
said to" increase in weight... but only after you've defined carefully what the word really says...
"In the beginning was the Word". Remember? But then we went and used the same word for so many related and similar but not identical concepts.... and then thought the word meant the same thing every time.
You've just noticed it yourself... by finding you have to substitute "net force" for "force"...
