    Solving for Normal Force in Vertical Circular Motion Problem

    Oh, ok I sort of see what you're getting at. So by doing Fnet = FN - Fg Then we use algebra to make it: Fnet + Fg = FN Which is then: m(v2/r) + mg = FN I then sub in the values I got from the question arriving to the answer of: FN = 4112.18 N Am I on the right track?

    Solving for Normal Force in Vertical Circular Motion Problem

    Homework Statement A 76-kg pilot at an air show performs a loop de loop with his plane. At the bottom of the 52-m radius loop, the plane is moving at 48 m/s. Determine the normal force acting upon the pilot. Homework Equations (ƩF)R = maR = m(v2/r) The Attempt at a Solution I...

    Circular Motion - Banked Curve

    Converted 40 km/h to 11.111 m/s. Now I input the following into the formula: tan θ = (11.1 m/s)2/(50)(9.8) Which equals 0.2514489... I then input that into the tan-1 function into the calculator and get: 14.11o degrees Is this correct?

    Circular Motion - Banked Curve

    Homework Statement Designing an on ramp for the 401 the engineer wants cars to be able to make the turn with a radius of 50 m while traveling 40km/hr in conditions with no friction. What angle must he bank the curve at to make this possible? Homework Equations FR = (m)(aR) FR = (m)(v2)/(r)The...
