Consider a level flight turn of a propeller-driven airplane in which the airplane makes a complete circular turn in 1.6 min. If the plane's speed is 200 m/s, what is the radius of the circle?

(2*pi*R)/96 s = 200 m/s

Solve for R in meters

R = 200*96/(2*pi) = ____ m

Change the answer to km if you wish.

I get about 3 km
