A 50,000 lb aircraft is flying along a rectilinear path at a constant altitude with a speed υ = 720 mph when the pilot initiates a turn by banking the plane 20° to the right. Assuming that the initial rate of change of speed is negligible, determine the components of the acceleration of the aircraft right at the beginning of the turn if the pilot does not adjust the attitude of the aircraft so that the magnitude of the lift remains the same as when the plane is flying straight and the aerodynamic drag remains in the horizontal plane. In addition, determine the radius of curvature at the beginning of the turn.
