An aircraft executes a horizontal loop of radius 1 km with a steady speed of `900 km h^(-1)`. Compare its centripetal acceleration with the acceleration due to gravity.

A

6.38

B

9.98

C

11.33

D

12.13

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`a_c=v^2/r=(250)^2/10^3=62.5 m//s^2`
`rArr a_c//g = 62.5/9.8`=6.38
