Question:
A jet pilot takes his aircraft in a vertical loop (Fig. 5-38).
(a) If the jet is moving at a speed of 840 km / h at the lowest point of the loop, determine the minimum radius of the circle so that the centripetal acceleration at the lowest point does not exceed 6.0 g's.
(b) Calculate the 78-kg pilot's effective weight (the force with which the seat pushes up on him) at the bottom of the circle, and
(c) At the top of the circle (assume the same speed).

Centripetal force is the component of force acting on an object in curvilinear motion which is directed towards the axis of rotation or center of curvature. For this experiment : Take a rectangular or square shaped thin sheet. Take a screwdriver or something to make four holes in each corner of the rectangular shape sheet. Now take four equal sized ropes and connect to each hole. Now tie the other ends of the rope by leveling the board to ground like this and tape it.. We will test the Centripetal force phenomena with different objects like Iphone 6, 12 and 11.
