Problem 73.
(II) 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) Cal-
culate 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
