An aeroplane is flying along the horizonyal at a velocity Vo starts to ascend describing a circle with height ‘h’ above the initial level of motion acc. To the expression v2 =vo 2-2ßh the velocity of plane at the upper point of trajectory is v1=V0/2. Find the acceleration magnitude of the plane when its velocity is directed vertically upwards.

The velocity of the aeroplane is vertical when it has completed quarter circle. In that case, there are two components of acceleration:

Centripetal acceleration, a_cdirected towards center, i.e. horizontal.
Tangential acceleration, a_t= g, directed downwards.

Let’s assume the velocity be v₁when the aeroplane is moving vertically. Then,
$v_1^2 = v_0^2-2g\frac{h}{2} = v_0^2-gh$
Also, it is given
$\left(\frac{v_0}{2}\right)^2 = v_0^2-2gh$
This gives
$v_1^2 = \frac{5gh}{3}\\ a_c=\frac{v_1^2}{h/2}=\frac{10g}{3} \Rightarrow a = \sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}=\frac{\sqrt{109} g}{3}$

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same radius and mass m is placed over the void created by the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls kept on the floor to each other if the system remains in equilibrium.
