A plane in a holding pattern flies at a speed of 250 m/s in a circle with a radius of 22 km.  a) Determine the banking angle of the plane (measured from the horizontal) that would cause the passengers not to need a friction force to stay in their seats.  Use g = 10 m/s/s.  Enter units as degrees.   b) What would be the apparent weight of a 70 kg person in the plane?  Use g = 10 N/kg.
