Question

a fighter plane flying at constant speed 470m/s and constantaltitude 9700m makes a turn of curvature radius 3600m. on theground, the plane's pilot weghs (52kg) (9.8 m/s^2) = 509.6 N. What is his apparent weight during the plane's turn? answer inunits of N a fighter plane flying at constant speed 470m/s and constantaltitude 9700m makes a turn of curvature radius 3600m. on theground, the plane's pilot weghs (52kg) (9.8 m/s^2) = 509.6 N. What is his apparent weight during the plane's turn? answer inunits of N

Explanation / Answer

Given that           verticalforce Fy = 509.6 N The horizontal force is the centripetal force so that wehave             Fx = m v2 / r                  = 52 * 470 * 470 / 3600                  = 3190.77 N Therefore apparent weight F = [Fx2 + Fy2 ]       = [ 3190.772 + 509.62 ]                                              = 3231.21 N
