An airplane flies in a loop (a circular path in a vertical plane) of radius 170 m. The pilot's head always pomts toward the center of the loop. The speed of the airplane is not constant; the airplane goes slowest at the top of the loop and fastest at the bottom. At the top of the loop, the pilot feels weightless. What is the speed of the airplane at this point?
