Q. An aircraft executes a horizontal loop with a speed of $150 \,m / s$ with its wings banked at an angle of $12^{\circ}$. The radius of the loop is : $\left( g =10 \,m / s ^2\right)$

Laws of Motion

Solution:

$\tan \theta=\frac{v^2}{r g}$
$\tan 12^{\circ}=(150)^2 / r \times 10 $
$\Rightarrow r=\frac{2250}{0.2125}=10.6\, km$
