Physics question based on circular motion..
this question is based on circular motion in a vertical plane:
The maximum value of acceleration that the human body can safely tolerate for short time intervals is nine times that due to gravity. Calculate the maximum speed with which a pilot could safely pull out of a circular dive of radius 4.00m . The answer: 88.5m/s |

I think the value of the radius of the circle is wrong - please check. A 4-meter radius flying circle is ridiculously small. Plus the answer you gave doesn't work with R=4m.
Here's how to solve this problem: at the bottom of the loop the pilot experinces the centripetal acceleration equal to v^2/R plus the regular force of gravity acting on his body of 1 g. The total of these must add to 9 g's. So: v^2/R + g = 9g Solve for v. I think you'll find that to get v=88.5 m/s the value for R is 100m, not 4m. |

For a mass of 1kg swinging in a virticle circle on a 1.5 m string. Find: a) the minimum tention neede to maintain a speed of 10 m/s at the top of the swing. b) the tention needed to maintain a speed of 10m/s when the mass is at side of the of the swing.
How would I solve these two? A ball on the end of a string is cleverly revolved at a uniform rate in a vertical circle of radius 60.0 cm, as shown in Fig. 5-33. Its speed is 4.10 m/s and its mass is 0.300 kg. And A ball on the end of a string is cleverly revolved at a uniform rate in a...
