Exercise 96

An airplane pilot is going to demonstrate flying in a tight vertical circle. To ensure that she doesn't black out at the bottom of the circle, the acceleration must not exceed 4.0g. If the speed of the plane is 50 m/s at the bottom of the circle, what is the minimum radius of the circle so that the 4.0g limit is not exceeded
