A small airplane makes a turn of 300m radius, while flying at 50ms^-1. Determine the angle at which it banks with the horizontal plane.

Anyone any idea on how to do this?
Please I really need help.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Just balance the forces: gravity, centrifugal and wing lift
 
yea? okay i'll give it a try. Thanks
doesn't work... Have no lift values...or mass even, so no weight and centripetal. Nm thanks anyway.
