Question

(a) When the pilot is at the highest point of the loop determine his apparent weight.
N

(b) At what speed will the pilot experience weightlessness?
m/s

(c) When the pilot is at the lowest point of the loop determine his apparent weight.
N

A stunt pilot in an air show performs a loop-the-loop in a vertical circle of radius 3.06 (a) When the pilot is at the highest point of the loop determine his apparent weight. N (b) At what speed will the pilot experience weightlessness? m/s (c) When the pilot is at the lowest point of the loop determine his apparent weight. N x 102 m/s. 103 m. During this performance the pilot whose weight is 621 N, maintains a constant speed of2.00

Explanation / Answer


m = W/g = 63.36 kg

N = mg + mv^2/R = 621 - ((63.36*200*200)/3060) = 1449.23 N


b ) mv^2/R = mg==========> V = 24.9 m/s


c) N = mg - mv^2/R = 207.23 N
