The Total solution for NCERT class 6-12
Anaircraft executes a horizontal loop at a speed of 720 km/h with its wingsbanked at 15°. What is the radius of the loop?
Speed of the aircraft, v = 720km/h
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s2
Angle of banking, θ = 15°
For radius r, of the loop, wehave the relation:
=14925.37 m
=14.92 km
