Homework Statement


A Jet pilot takes his aircraft in a vertical loop. if the jet is moving at a speed of 700km/hr at the bottom of the loop, determine the minimum radius of the loop if the acceleration at the lowest point doesn't exceed 6.0g's (this means 6.0 x acceleration due to gravity on earth)


Homework Equations


Fcentripital = MV^2/R


The Attempt at a Solution



All i know is that 700km/hr is 194.44m/s
and i also know that the Fg at the bottom would be -58.8N
I'm totally stuck, help me out thanks
