An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 133.89 m/s. The wings of the plane are tilted at 38.2° to the horizontal. Find the radius of the circle in which the plane is flying.

Step 1
We know that the airplane is flying in a horizontal circle, so it must have a centripetal acceleration towards the center of the circle. Show more…

An airplane is flying at constant speed $v$ in a horizontal circle of radius $r$. 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?
An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 482 km/h. If its wings are tilted 40° to the horizontal, what is the radius of the circle in which the plane is flying? Assume that the required force is provided entirely by an "aerodynamic lift" that is perpendicular to the wing surface.

An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 480 km/h. If its wings are tilted at an angle θ=40° to the horizontal, what is the radius of the circle in which the plane is flying? Assume that the required force is provided entirely by an "aerodynamic lift" that is perpendicular to the wing surface.
