Question

An aircraft executes a horizontal loop at a speed of 720 km/hr with its wings banked at 15degrees. What is radius of the loop? (tan 15degrees = 2 - underroot 3)​

Answer 1

the radius of loop 15 meter

Answer 2

# Answer- 15 km

## Explaination-

# Given-

v = 720 km/h = 200 m/s

θ = 15°

# Solution-

For circular motion with inclination θ, we have

tanθ = v^2 / rg

Putting values,

tan15 = (200)^2 / (r×10)

r = 4000/0.268

r = 14925 m

r = 15 km

Radius of the loop is 15 km.
