| Pilots of high-performance fighter planes can be subjected I to large centripetal accelerations during high-speed turns. Because of these accelerations, the pilots are subjected to forces that can be much greater than their body weight, leading to an accumula- tion of blood in the abdomen and legs. As a result, the brain becomes starved for blood, and the pilot can lose consciousness (“black out"). The pilots wear “anti-G suits" to help keep the blood from draining out of the brain. To appreciate the forces that a fighter pilot must endure, consider the magnitude Fy of the normal force that the pilot's seat ex- erts on him at the bottom of a dive. The magnitude of the pilot's weight is W. The plane is traveling at 230 m/s on a vertical circle of radius 690 m. Determine the ratio Fx/W. For comparison, note that blackout can occur for values of Fx/W as small as 2 if the pilot is not wearing 42. an anti-G suit.

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth differs slightly from place to place, depending on topography (e.g., whether you areon a hill or in a valley) and subsurface geology (whether there is dense rock like iron ore as opposed to light rock like saltbeneath you.) The precise acceleration due to gravity can be calculated from data taken in an introductory physicslaboratory course. An object, usually a metal ball for which air resistance is negligible, is dropped and the time it takes to falla known distance is measured. Very precise results can be produced with this method ifsufficient care is taken in measuring the distance fallen and the elapsed time.
