A pilot of weight w=170 lb in a jet aircraft executes a loop-the loop, as shown in Figure 4. In this maneuver, the aircraft moves in a vertical circle of radius 2.70 km at a constant speed of 225 m/s. Determine the ratio of the forces exerted by the seat on the pilot at the bottom and at the top of the loop
