The force is what you would have to apply to get the object to
move in a circle.  Since the vertical string does not transmit the
force being applied to the vehicle to the dice, they prefer to keep
moving in their original straight path.  However, soon the string IS
able to transmit a force and the situation reaches equilibrium with
the dice somewhat higher above ground than they started off.
