Circular motion
A plane heading due North makes a level turn with a speed of 100 m/s. The angle of the bank is 15 degrees. Determine:
(a) Radius of the circular path
(b) Cetripetal acceleration
(c) Lift force
(d) Direction of velocity after 30 seconds (Weight of the plane is 19600 Newtons)

Solution Preview
Let the lift be L which acts perpendicular to the plane's wings
mg= 19600 N
m= 1997.96 kg as g=9.81 m/s
v= 100 m/s
L Cos 15 ...
Solution Summary
This solution calculates radius of the circular path, cetripetal acceleration, lift force and direction of velocity after 30 seconds.
