8. Centripetal Forces & Gravitation / Vertical Centripetal Forces / Problem 10

A low-flying jet plane performs a loop-the-loop in such a way that at the topmost point of the loop, the jet is upside down. Inside the jet, the pilot has forgotten to fasten her seatbelt. Given that, the radius of the loop is 5.5 m determine what the minimum speed of the jet plane should be so that the pilot does not fall out of her seat at the topmost point of the loop.
