An airplane has a mass of 3.85 × 10^4kg and takes off under the influence of a constant net force of 2.13 × 10^4 N. What is the net force that acts on the plane's 74.4-kg pilot?

This doesn't make any sense....
F = ma
So, what is a? The acceleration of the plane:
a = 2.13*10^4 / 3.85*10^4 = 0.55 m/s^2
so the net force on the pilot is 74.4*0.55 = 41.16N
I guess the "net force" does not include gravity, so add the pilot's weight to the above.
