3 questions...

Hi guys, 3 questions that I don't succeed to understand, and in which I don't agree with the answer given. Can anyone help me?
thanks a lot

1)An aircraft is in straight and level flight and has a CL of 0.42 and a 1 degree increase in angle of attack would increase the CL by 0.1. The aircraft experiences a gust which increases the angle of attack by 3 degrees, what load factor would the aircraft be subject to?

2)If the maximum force acceptable is 50lbs and the design limit g of the aircraft is 6g, what is the stick force/g that must be achieved to permit the aircraft to be manoeuvred to its design limit?

3)At a true airspeed of 300kts what turn radius would be achieved in a 45 degree bank if g = 10m/s squared

in this one I've answered 9000m but it was said the right answer is 2387...why?
