- In a laboratory test of tolerance for high acceleration, a pilot is swung in a circle 15.0 m in diameter. It is found that the pilot blacks out when he is spun at 30.6 rpm (rev/min). At what acceleration (in SI units) does the pilot black out? acceleration: 77.01 m/s? Express this acceleration in terms of a multiple of g. acceleration as a multiple of g: 7.858 If you want to decrease the acceleration by 22.0% without changing the diameter of the circle, by what percent must you change the time for the pilot to make one circle? percent of time change:arrow_forward1.

A box with a mass m = 0.4 kg is released from rest at the top of a curved section of a track that is one quarter of a circle with a radius R = 0.2m. When the box reaches the bottom of the curved track it slides on a horizontal section of the track. There is no friction on the curved section of the track. a. Find the velocity of the box at the bottom of the curved section of the track. b. Find the normal force on the block when it is at the bottom of the circular section of the ramp.
