An airplane is ?ying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 102 m/s. The 79.0 kg pilot does not want the centripetal acceleration to exceed 6.76 times free-fall acceleration.
a) Find the minimum radius of the plane?s
path.
Answer in units of m

b) At this radius, what is the magnitude of the net force that maintains circular motion exerted on the pilot by the seat belts, the friction against the seat, and so forth?
Answer in units of N

use a = v^2/r
given that a = 6.76 x 9.8 = v^2/r
r = 102^2/66.24
..= 157m

use F = m^2/r
where m = 79.0kg
