Hey friend,
# Answer- a = 62.5 m/s^2 = 6.38×g
# Given-
r = 1 km = 10^3 m
v = 900 km/h = 250 m/s
# Solution-
Acceleration of particle moving in centripetal motion is given by,
a = v^2/r
a = (250)^2/10^3
a = 62500/1000
a = 62.5 m/s^2
We know g = 9.8 m/s^2
a/g = 62.5/9.8
a/g = 6.38
Hence, centripetal acceleration here is 6.38 times larger than acceleration due to gravity.
Hope that helps you...

Radius of the loop, r = 1 km = 1000 m
Speed of the aircraft,
v = 900 km/h= 900× 5/18 = 260m/s
Centripetal acceleration,
a(c) = v^2/ r
= (250)^2/1000
= 62.5 m/s^2
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s2
a(c)/ g
=62.5/9.8
= 6.38
=> a(c)= 9.38 g
I hope, this will help you
