Angular velocity with aircraft (equation help?)

AI Thread Summary
To determine the altitude gain of a 2100lb airplane climbing at a 20-degree angle with a power of 100 HP, relevant equations include power (P=Fv), gravitational potential energy (Ep=mgh), and gravitational force (Fg=mg). The user seeks guidance on the specific equations needed to solve the problem, as they do not have their textbook available. The discussion emphasizes the need for clarity on how to apply these equations to find the altitude gain over a 10-minute period. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between power, force, and velocity in the context of aircraft dynamics. Overall, the thread focuses on seeking help with the calculations required for the altitude gain problem.

Homework Statement



A 2100lb airplane requires a power of 100 HP at the propeller to climb at an angle of 20 degrees to the horizontal at a constant speed. how much altitude could it gain in 10 minutes?

Homework Equations



that's actually what I need help on...i left my book at school and I don't have the equations on hand. Can someone point me in the right direction here firstly please? This doesn't seem that hard but I haven't a clue what equations i should be using.

The Attempt at a Solution



N/A (for now, sorry)

Try these equations:

P=Fv
Ep=mgh
Fg=mg

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
