| turn of radius 1800m at 200m/s? Full Question: An aircraft enters a correctly banked turn of radius 1800m at a velocity of 200m/s. If the aircraft has a mass of 80,000kg, determine: i) The centripetal force acting towards the centre of the turn; ii) The angle of bank Serious answers only please! |

| People inside the plane are still being pulled down by gravity with a force of m*g=9.8*m. The airplane is also holding the people within it with a force of m*v^2/r=22.22*m. So you've got a horizontal force and a vertical force. 22.22*m ----------------------> | |9.8*m | V People are most comfortable when they are accelerated into their seats (not the window or ceiling), so the bank angle will be perpendicular to the sum of those two vectors. Your result should be about 65 degrees (though the 5 isn't a significant digit-- you should be able to get the final answer on your own). But oh those poor people! They'll be accelerated to almost 3 gs! |
