Question

An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a

speed of 104 m/s. The 76.0 kg pilot does not
want the centripetal acceleration to exceed
6.09 times free-fall acceleration.
Find the minimum radius of the plane’s
path. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81
m/s2

Answer 1

181 m

Step-by-step explanation:

a = v² / r

6.09 (9.81 m/s²) = (104 m/s)² / r

r = 181 m
