When this acceleration is greater than about 4 × g the pilot will usually lose consciousness (“black out”). Consider a pilot flying at a speed of 950 m/s who wants to make a very sharp turn. What is the minimum radius of curvature that he can take without blacking out?arrow_forwardThe maximum static coefficient of friction between the tires of a 2000 kg car and the road is lsmax 0.25.

In addition to supporting the weight of a helicopter, they are spun at rapid rates and experience large centripetal accelerations, especially at the tip. (For each answer, enter a number.)
