Homework Statement
A plane makes a vertical loop like in the drawing. the speed is exactly what is needed that at the highest point the pilot won't feel any force nor from the seat and nor from the safety belts.
1) what is the weight of the pilot in comparison to the airplane?
2) what gravity feeling has the pilot?
Homework Equations
Acceleration in circular motion: ##a_r=\frac{V^2}{R}##
The Attempt at a Solution
1) the pilot's weight can be anything, even very heavy in comparison to the plane, i don't understand the question.
2) the pilot feels only g, so he is in free fall, like astronauts. but what does he feel? nothing? when i fall i feel sick
