An aerobatic airplane is stressed for a maximum of 10g acceleration during a loop. The pilot pulls the airplane around the bottom of the loop with a radius of 0.100 km. What is the maximum speed permitted at the bottom of the loop?

Step 1
1 km, we need to convert this to meters. 1 km is equal to 1000 meters, so 0.1 km is equal to 100 meters. Show more…

A jet pilot puts an aircraft with a constant speed into a vertical circular loop. (a) Which is greater, the normal force exerted on the seat by the pilot at the bottom of the loop or that at the top of the loop? Why? (b) If the speed of the aircraft is $700 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$ and the radius of the circle is $2.0 \mathrm{~km}$, calculate the normal forces exerted on the seat by the pilot at the bottom and top of the loop. Express your answer in terms of the pilot's weight.
