(a) The plane makes 4.3 revolutions per minute, so it makes a single revolution in
(1 min) / (4.3 rev) ≈ 0.2326 min ≈ 13.95 s ≈ 14 s
(b) The plane completes 1 revolution in about 14 s, so that in this time it travels a distance equal to the circumference of the path:
(2<em>π</em> (23 m)) / (14 s) ≈ 10.3568 m/s ≈ 10 m/s
(c) The plane accelerates toward the center of the path with magnitude
<em>a</em> = (10 m/s)² / (23 m) ≈ 4.6636 m/s² ≈ 4.7 m/s²
(d) By Newton's second law, the tension in the line is
<em>F</em> = (1.3 kg) (4.7 m/s²) ≈ 6.0627 N ≈ 6.1 N
