Homework Statement
On takeoff” refers to after the plane has left the ground.
On takeoff, the combined action of the air around the engines and wings of an airplane exerts a(n) 8445 N force on the plane, directed upward at an angle of 50.2◦ above the hori- zontal. The plane rises with constant velocity in the vertical direction while continuing to accelerate in the horizontal direction.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . What is the weight of the plane? Answer in units of N.
8445 N on take off. 50.2 degrees on take off. Fg=9.8
Homework Equations
Fnet=ma Fvector 1+Fvecotr 2=Fvector 1 +Fvector 2
The Attempt at a Solution
To get to vertical, the plane would have to travel 39.8 degrees higher (90). I do not know what to do from here.
