Question

What is approximately the centripetal acceleration (in$$ units of acceleration due to gravity on earth, g $$=$$ $$10$$ $$ms-2) of an aircraft flying at a speed of $$400$$ $$ms-1$$ through a circular arc of radius $$0.6$$ km?

Here, v $$=$$ $$400$$ $$ms-1$$          r $$=$$ $$0.6$$ km $$=$$ $$0.6$$× $$103$$ m         g $$=$$ $$10$$ $$ms-2Centripetal$$ acceleration,    ac $$=$$ $$v2r$$ $$=$$ (400$$ $$ms-1)20.6$$ ×$$103$$ m         $$=$$ $$16$$×$$104$$ $$m2s-20.6$$ × $$103m$$ $$=$$ $$16$$ ×$$100.6ms-2$$        $$=$$ $$26.7$$ × $$10$$ $$ms-2In$$ the units of g $$($$ $$=$$ $$10$$ $$ms-2), the centripetal acceleration is $$26.7$$

What is approximately the centripetal acceleration (in units of acceleration due to gravity on earth, g = 10 ${ms}^{- 2}$ ) of an aircraft flying at a speed of 400 ${ms}^{- 1}$ through a circular arc of radius 0.6 km?
