question\n(refer to figure 2.) if an unmanned airplane weighs 33 pounds, what approximate weight would the airplane structure be required to support during a 30 degree banked turn while maintaining altitude?\nview figures\nanswer choices\n34 pounds.\n47 pounds.\n38 pounds.

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Find load factor for 30° bank

The load factor $n$ for a banked turn maintaining altitude is given by $n = \frac{1}{\cos\theta}$, where $\theta = 30^\circ$. $\cos(30^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \approx 0.866$ $n = \frac{1}{0.866} \approx 1.155$

Step2: Calculate structural load

Multiply the airplane weight by the load factor. $\text{Structural Load} = 33 \times 1.155 \approx 38.115$

Answer:

38 pounds.
