A plane comes out of a power dive, turning upward in a curve whose center of curvature is 1300 m above the plane. The plane's speed is 260 m/s.

a. Calculate the upward force of the seat cushion on the 100 kg pilot of the plane.

b. Calculate the upward force on a 90.0 g sample of blood in the pilot's head.

a. Force=6180 N

b. Force=5.56 N

Explanation:

Data

R (Curvature) = 1300 m

V (Plane Speed) = 260 m/s

g (gravity) = 9.8 m/s^2

For part a of question

m=100 kg

Force = ((mv^2) / R) + mg

F = ((100kg * (260) ^2) / 1300) + (100kg) * (9.8)

F=6180 N Answer

For part b of question

m=90.0 g

Force = ((mv^2) / R) + mg

F = ((90g * (260) ^2) / 1300) + (90g) * (9.8)

F=5.56 N Answer
