Centripetal Force: 80kg Pilot in Jet at 305m/s

AI Thread Summary
An 80 kg pilot experiences centripetal force while performing a loop in a jet at a speed of 305 m/s and a loop radius of 1.9 km. The pilot's angular velocity (omega) was calculated to be 0.1605 rad/s. The attempt to find the apparent weight at the bottom of the loop involved using the formula for centripetal acceleration (Acp), but the initial calculation of Acp was incorrect. The correct approach combines gravitational force (mg) with the centripetal acceleration to determine the total force felt by the pilot. Accurate calculations are crucial for determining the apparent weight experienced during the maneuver.

Homework Statement



An 80 kg pilot, makes a loop the loop in a jet, the jet maintains a constant speed of 305 m/s and the radius of the loop is 1.900km. What is the apparent weiht that the pilot feels( Force) at the bottom of the loop the loop.

Homework Equations


Acp=w^2/r
w=(v/r)
F= ma or F= mg


The Attempt at a Solution


First I solved for omega w=0.1605, then I solved for Acp=0.0000136
the Force the pilot feels at the bottom of the loop would be
mg+ Acp or is this wrong?

I figured out what I was doing wrong, I calculated the Acp wrong.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'
I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
