The radius of the loop is 18.9 km
Explanation:
When the airplane is at the top of the loop, the pilot experiences two forces:
- The force of gravity, acting downward, of magnitude
- The normal reaction exerted by the seat on the pilot, also acting downward, N
Since the plane is moving in a circular motion, the net force on the pilot must be equal to the centripetal force, therefore we can write:
where
m is the mass of the pilot
is the acceleration of gravity
N is the normal reaction
v = 430 m/s is the speed of the plane
r is the radius of the loop
Here we are told that the pilot feel weightless at the top of the loop: this means that the normal reaction is zero,
N = 0
Therefore the equation becomes
And so we can find the radius of the loop:
