If the jet is moving at a speed of 1250 km/h at the lowest point of the loop, determine the minimum radius of the circle so that the centripetal acceleration at the lowest point does not exceed 6.5 g's.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The minimum radius of the circle is 1892.75 meters

Explanation:

Speed of the jet, v = 1250 km/h = 347.23 m/s

We need to find the minimum radius of the circle so that the centripetal acceleration at the lowest point does not exceed 6.5 g.

The centripetal acceleration is given by :

[tex]a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\r=\dfrac{v^2}{a}\\\\r=\dfrac{(347.23)^2}{6.5\times 9.8}\\\\r=1892.75\ m[/tex]

So, the minimum radius of the circle is 1892.75 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
