Question

¡¡ The acceleration due to free fall is the acceleration due to gravity. So the acceleration of the plane should be your factor * 9.8 m/s2¿¿ An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 101 m/s. The 90.0 kg pilot does not want the centripetal acceleration to exceed 6.29 times free-fall acceleration. a) Find the minimum radius of the plane’s path. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2. Answer in units of m. b) At this radius, what is the magnitude of the net force that maintains circular motion exerted on the pilot by the seat belts, the friction against the seat, and so forth? Answer in units of N.
