Medical testing has established that the maximum acceleration a pilot can be subjected to without losing consciousness is approximately 5.00g. A pilot can avoid "blackout" at accelerations up to approximately 9.00g by wearing special "g-suits" that help keep blood pressure in the brain at a sufficient level. What is the minimum safe radius of curvature for the pilot wearing a g-suit and flying the F-15 in a horizontal circular loop at 672 km/h? m

In a laboratory test of tolerance for high acceleration, a pilot is swung in a circle 15.0 m in diameter. It is found that the pilot blacks out when he is spun at 30.6 rpm (rev/min). At what acceleration (in SI units) does the pilot black out? acceleration: 77.01 m/s? Express this acceleration in terms of a multiple of g. acceleration as a multiple of g: 7.858 If you want to decrease the acceleration by 22.0% without changing the diameter of the circle, by what percent must you change the time for the pilot to make one circle? percent of time change:
