An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a
speed of 104 m/s. the 76.0 kg pilot does not
want the centripetal acceleration to exceed
6.09 times free-fall acceleration.
find the minimum radius of the plane’s
path. the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81
m/s2

The air in an automobile tire with a volume of 2.60 ft3 is at 70°f and 21 psig. determine the amount of air that must be added to raise the pressure to the recommended value of 30 psig. assume the atmospheric pressure to be 14.6 psia and the temperature and the volume to remain constant. the gas constant of air is ru = 53.34ft⋅lbflbm⋅r(1 psia144 lbf/ft2) = 0.3704 psia⋅ft3lbm⋅r the amount of air that must be added to raise the pressure is lbm
