What happens to the stall speed if the aircraft is in a 25 degree bank angle?
It increases 5%
25 degrees angle of bank the stall speed will increase by the square root of the load factor
Load factor (g) is the ratio of the lift generated in manoeuvre to lift in level flight at lg.
An increase in load factor is effectively an increase in the "apparent" weight of the aircrtaft.
That means V square is also directly proprtional to Load factor (like weight).
Therefor, V = square root of load factor.
That means an aircraft in a 2g turn will have a stalling speed 1.41 times the basic stalling speed.

it is the ratio between the air drawn in by the fan but bypassing the engine core to the air passing
through the engine core
it is the ratio of the pressure of the engine outlet to the engine inlet
