Applied Mechanics

Q1: A pilot flies a small plane in a vertical loop of radius r. At the top of its trajectory he experiences weightlessness. If the acceleration due to gravity is g, the speed of the plane at the top of its trajectory would be

A gr

B 2gr.

C infinite

D zero

ANS:C - gr

Body in circular motion attains centripetal acceleration.

So, we have a=v * 2/r.
So v= √(gr).
