The pilot of an airplane executes a loop-the-loop maneuver in a vertical circle. The speed of the airplane is 250 mi/h, at the top of the loop and 450 mi/h at the bottom, and the radius of the circle is 1 150 ft. Note: His apparent weight is equal to the magnitude of the force exerted by the seat on his body.

(a) What is the pilot's apparent weight at the lowest point if his true weight is 160 lb?
lb

(b) What is the magnitude of his apparent weight at the highest point?
lb

(c) Describe how the pilot could experience weightlessness if both the radius and the speed can be varied.

question 15 Speed of airplane flying overhead of radar station An airplane is flying at an altitude of 6 miles and passes directly over a radar antenna. When the plane is 10 miles away (straight line distance from radar station s=10), the radar detects that the distance s is changing at a rate of 320 mph. What is the actual speed of the plane?

An airplane pilot wishes to fly to his destination 500 mi due west, but the wind is blowing at 23.1 mi/hr toward 14.1° north of west. The speed of the plane relative to the air is 166.5 mi/hr. At what angle (south of west) must the pilot orient the plane in order to fly to his destination directly? If the pilot orients the plane at that angle, what will be the speed of the plane relative to the ground?
