Calculate Jet Engine Thrust for 800 kg Jet Takeoff with 4 m/s^-2 Acceleration

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the thrust required for an 800 kg jet to achieve an acceleration of 4 m/s² during takeoff, the equation F - R = ma is used, where F is the thrust, R is air resistance, and m is mass. The air resistance is given as 500 N. By substituting the values into the equation, the calculation shows that F - 500 = 3200, leading to a thrust of 3700 N. The solution appears to be correct based on the provided parameters. Accurate calculations are essential for understanding jet engine performance during takeoff.

Homework Statement


Calculate the engine thrust required to produce an acceleration of 4 m/s^-2 in a jet of mass 800 kg as it takes off along the runway. The air resistance is 500 N
Appreciate if anyone can check if I have used the correct equation, and my answer.

Homework Equations


F - R = ma


The Attempt at a Solution


F - R = 800 x 4
F - 500 = 3200
Thrust (F) = 3700 N

Yeah... That looks right.
 
Thanks for taking the time.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
