(b) What is the minimum radius the pilot can take?
A plane is diving downward at 33 m/s. To pull out of the dive the plane must start a 90circular turn. If the pilot can withstand a maximum acceleration of 5g before losing consciousness, what is the minimum radius of the circular turn that the pilot can take? Assume that the magnitude of velocity remains constant and neglect gravity effects.
