[Jason03]

heres the problem i was working on

heres my work

do my FBD's look ok?...and I am trying to figure the velocity of B first,

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...

thanks

am i on the right track with my work?

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.
