26. Snoopy, in hot pursuit of the Red Baron, is flying his vintage warplane in a “loop-the-loop" path. His instruments tell him that the plane is level (at the bottom of the loop) and travelling at a speed of 180 km/h. He is sitting on a set of bathroom scales. He notes that the scales show four times his normal weight. What is the radius of the loop, in metres?
