Homework Statement
An aircraft flies with its wings tilted, in order to fly in a horizontal circle of radius r. The aircraft has mass 4.00 x 104 Kg and has a constant speed of 250ms-1 . with the aircraft flying in this way, two forces are acting on the plane, P [lift] and W [weight which is given as 3.92*105 N] . P is acting at 35 degrees to the vertical. calculate P
Homework Equations
centripetal force=mass * velocity2 / radius
centripetal force= mass * angular speed2 * radius
angular speed = theta / time
angular speed = velocity/ radius
angular speed = 2pi * frequency
centripetal acceleration = velocity2 / radius
centripetal acceleration = angular speed2 * radius
Force = mass * acceleration
The Attempt at a Solution
I can't do it. I swear we need more information. can someone enlighten me.
