Homework Statement
General question:Decide wether an airplane will continue to fly in uniform circular motion while banking on a turn.
Homework Equations
m(v2/r)
[tex]\Sigma[/tex]Fx= Lsin[tex]\theta[/tex]=m(v2/r)
[tex]\Sigma[/tex]Fy=Lcos[tex]\theta[/tex]-mg=0
The Attempt at a Solution
my question is if the centripetal force m(v2/r)is greater than the force of lift in th x direction Lsin[tex]\theta[/tex] is that when it will no longer continue to fly in circular motion? also is there an amount of lift in the x direction that would be too much causing the plane to go in? If so then how do i know how much is the right amount to keep the plane in uniform circular motion?
