Pulling out of a dive, the pilot of an airplane guides his plane into a vertical circle. At the bottom of the dive, the speed of the airplane is 320 m/s. What is the smallest radius allowable for the vertical circle if the pilot's apparent weight is not to exceed 7.0 times his true weight

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.74 km

Explanation:

We are given that

Speed of airplane,v=320 m/s

We have to find the smallest radius allowable for the vertical circle if the pilot's apparent weight is not exceed 7.0 times his true weight.

Let true weight =w

Apparent weight=7w

According to question

[tex]7w=w+\frac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]

[tex]7w-w=\frac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]

We know that

[tex]m=\frac{w}{g}[/tex]

[tex]6w=\frac{wv^2}{rg}[/tex]

[tex]6=\frac{v^2}{rg}[/tex]

[tex]r=\frac{v^2}{6g}[/tex]

Where [tex]g=9.8 m/s^2[/tex]

[tex]r=\frac{(320)^2}{6\times 9.8}= 1741.5 m[/tex]

[tex]r=\frac{1741.5}{1000}=1.74 km[/tex]

Where 1 km=1000 m
