Question
**Jet Airplane Level Flight Analysis**

A jet airplane is in level flight. The mass of the airplane is \( m = 8870 \, \text{kg} \). The airplane travels at a constant speed around a circular path of radius \( R = 8.23 \, \text{mi} \) and makes one revolution every \( T = 0.109 \, \text{h} \). Given that the lift force acts perpendicularly upward from the plane defined by the wings, what is the magnitude of the lift force acting on the airplane?

### Diagram Description:
- The diagram shows an overhead view of the airplane in level flight.
- The wings are tilted at an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal.
- A dotted circular path represents the airplane’s flight path with radius \( R \).
- \( R \) is indicated as the radius of the circular path.
  
### Required Calculations:
1. **Lift Force Magnitude Calculation**  
   \( L = \) [Box for calculation] kN
   
2. **Banking Angle**  
   At what angle is the airplane banked?  
   [Box for calculation]

These calculations help determine the necessary lift force and banking angle for maintaining level flight under the described conditions.
