AI Thread Summary
To calculate the G force on an airplane turning uniformly, the formula f=mv^2/r is used, where mass is 79,015 kg, velocity is 257.2 m/s, and radius is 100 meters, resulting in a force of approximately 52,269,876.376 N. This force leads to an acceleration of 661.51 m/s², which translates to a G force of 67.5 Gs when divided by 9.8 m/s². However, this calculation only considers the horizontal component of the loading factor, and the vertical G force due to gravity must also be factored in for a complete analysis. Ultimately, such a tight turn at high speed would exceed the structural limits of the aircraft, making it impossible for the plane to perform safely. This illustrates why airplanes cannot execute such maneuvers at high velocities.

can anyone tell me how to calculate G force of an airplane of mass=79015, velocity=257.2 m/s turning uniformly at a radius of 100 meters.
I use the formula as f=mv^2/r
i don't know if its correct but i get an answer of f=52269876.376
then i substituted in the equation f=ma .. and i got a= 661.51 m/sec^2
finally i used G=a/g. i got G= 661.51/9.8
and i got 67.5 g's... please help me with this problem .

And now you know why airplanes do not make such turns when traveling at such high speeds.

Technically, you've only computed the horizontal component of the loading factor. If you had a smaller load, you'd have to combine it with vertical 1g due to gravity. But in this case, it won't make any difference.
 
It's simple: a plane traveling at 257.2 m/s can't turn this tightly without coming apart. Anyone aboard has already blacked out.
 

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
