SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving an aircraft velocity problem using Free Body Diagrams (FBDs) and analyzing the normal acceleration (a-sub-n) and forces in the x-direction. The user seeks validation of their FBDs and inquiries about the necessity of calculating forces in the x-direction to determine the velocity of point B. A consensus emerges that the primary focus should be on the vertical forces, indicating that the user is on the right track with their approach.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Free Body Diagrams (FBDs)
  • Knowledge of normal acceleration (a-sub-n)
  • Familiarity with forces acting in two dimensions

am i on the right track with my work?
 
Jason03 said:
do my FBD's look ok?...and I am trying to figure the velocity of B first,
I don't see any clear FBDs showing the forces acting on the pilot.

does my a-sub-n look ok?...and to find the velocity do I need to find the Forces in the x direction as well...
Just worry about the vertical direction.
