The pilot of an airplane executes a constantspeed loop-the-loop maneuver in a vertical circle as in Figure 7.15b. The speed of the airplane is 2.00×102 m/s, and the radius of the circle is 3.20×103 m. (a) What is the pilot’s apparent weight at the lowest point of the circle if his true weight is 712 N? (b) What is his apparent weight at the highest point of the circle? (c) Describe how the pilot could experience weightlessness if both the radius and the speed can be varied. Note: His apparent weight is equal to the magnitude of the force exerted by the seat on his body. Under what conditions does this occur? (d) What speed would have resulted in the pilot experiencing weightlessness at the top of the loop?

An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 400. km/h (see the figure). If its wings are tilted at angle θ = 39.0° to the horizontal, what is the radius of the circle in which the plane is flying? Assume that the required force is provided entirely by an “aerodynamic lift” that is perpendicular to the wing surface. Use g = 9.81 m/s2.
The accompanying figure shows a frictionless channel in the shape of a segment of a circle with center at "O". The channel has been anchored to a frictionless horizontal tabletop. You are looking down at the table. Forces exerted by the air are negligible. A ball is shot at high speed into the channel at "p" and exits at "r." Consider the following distinct forces: A downward force of gravity. A force exerted by the channel pointing from q to O. A force in the direction of motion. A force pointing from O to q. Which of the above forces is (are) acting on the ball when it is within the frictionless channel at position "q"?
