Question

A 90-kg jet pilot flies in a vertical loop. If the jet's speed is 1100km/hr at the bottom of the loop, what is the smallest radius that guarantees the acceleration of the pilot will be less than or equal to 4.0g's (4.0 x 9.8m/s^2). Assuming the pilot makes the loop with the smallest radius, what is the force of the seat on the piolet at the bottom of the circle and at the top of the circle when he is upside down? Assume speed is the same for all points in the loop. You may neglect friction and air resistance.
