Circular MotionHard

Question

An aircraft executes a horizontal loop with a speed of 150 m/s with its wings banked at an angle of 12o the radius of the loop is (g = 10m/ s2)

Options

A.10.6km
B.9.6km
C.7.4km
D.5.8km

Solution

Using the relation for the radius (r) of loop
tan θ =
or tan 12o =
r = = 10.6 × 103 m = 10.6km
