A stunt pilot who has been diving vertically at 150m/s pulls out to dive into a circle in the vertical plane.
a)What is the minimum radius of the circle, if the force on the pilot is not to exceed 6g.
b)If the pilot has a mass of 80kg, what is the apparent weight of the pilot at the lowest point of the circle?My solution:
a)6g = mv^2/r
r= 383*mass metres
b) 6g = R-mg
R= g(6+80)
=844N
Is the above correct? The answer to part a) seems abit too large to me!
Thank you very much for any assistance, I really appreciate it.
