I assumed this was math homework, based on the units used: fps for speed and feet for turn radius. In a flying context I would expect perhaps knots and miles or rate-of-turn or bank angle.

For a tale of an oddball (for a pilot!) calculation, enjoy "Optimism Takes Work and is Rewarded" https://www.code7700.com/rule_15.htm
