643 - SPL - How is the balance of forces affected during a turn?

Question 643 - Principles of Flight (Aeroplane) - SPL - Sailplane Pilot License

A lower lift force compensates for a lower net force as compared to level flight
Lift force must be increased to compensate for the sum of centrifugal and gravitational force
The horizontal component of the lift force during a turn is the centrifugal force
The net force results from superposition of gravity and centripetal forces
