An airplane goes into a turn 3.6 km in radius. If the banking angle required is 28° from the horizontal, what's the plane's speed?

Step 1
This tilt allows the plane to make a turn without the passengers feeling a sideways force. The force that keeps the plane moving in a circle is the horizontal component of the gravitational force acting on the plane. This force can be calculated using the Show more…

An airplane goes into a turn $4.0 \mathrm{~km}$ in radius. If the banking angle required is $22^{\circ}$ from the horizontal, what's the plane's speed?
Making a turn, a jetliner flies $2.1 \mathrm{~km}$ on a circular path of radius $3.6 \mathrm{~km}$. Through what angle does the jetliner turn?
An airplane is flying at constant speed $740 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$ in a horizontal circle of radius 4.1 km. The lift force on the wings due to the air is perpendicular to the wings. At what angle to the vertical must the wings be banked to fly in this circle?
