Chapter 5, Problem 47P

When a piano turns, it banks as shown in Fig. 5.35 to give the wings’ lifting force ${\stackrel{\to }{F}}_{\text{w}}$ a horizontal component that turns the plane. If a plane is flying level al 950 km/h and the banking angle θ is not to exceed 40°. What’s the minimum curvature radius for the turn?
