Jet Pilot's Vertical Loop Dynamics

Chapter 5 of the physics document presents various problems related to centripetal acceleration, tension in rods, radius of curvature for highway curves, surface gravity of a neutron star, and weight readings on a spring scale in different elevator scenarios. The problems involve calculations based on given parameters such as speed, mass, and acceleration. Each problem requires the application of fundamental physics concepts to derive solutions.

1. A jet pilot takes his aircraft in a vertical loop (Fig. 1). (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) Calculate 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 the top of
the circle (assume the same speed).

2. Two blocks, with masses and , are connected to each other and to a central
post by thin rods as shown in Fig. 2. The blocks revolve about the post at the same
frequency (revolutions per second) on a frictionless horizontal surface at distances
and from the post. Derive an algebraic expression for the tension in each rod.

3. Highway curves are marked with a suggested speed. If this speed is based on what
would be safe in wet weather, estimate the radius of curvature for an unbanked curve
marked 50 km/h. Use Table 1 (coefficients of friction).

4. A certain neutron star has five times the mass of our Sun packed into a sphere
about 10 km in radius. Estimate the surface gravity on this monster.

5. What will a spring scale read for the weight of a 58.0-kg woman in an elevator
that moves (a) upward with constant speed 5.0 m/s, (b) downward with constant
speed 5.0 m/s, (c) with an upward acceleration 0.23 g, (d) with a downward
acceleration 0.23 g, and (e) in free fall?
