The Attempt at a Solution
I know I'm supposed to make an attempt, but I can make heads nor tails of this. Are they changed in a constant ratioo? Does the tension come into play?
The answer given is 0.16m
1) The plane had an initial velocity when the pilot was sitting in it.
As the pilot jumped backward with a certain momentum, an equal amount was imparted to the plane in the opposite direction, which is the direction of the plane.
This final momentum of the plane, divided by the mass of...
I said the same result would be produced if you placed two masses of msinθ and mcosθ along the axes at ry and rx distance away.
Sorry if my answer was confusing.
