Question
An airplane has a mass of 33,000 kg and takes off under the influence of a constant net force of 38,000 N. What is the net force that acts on the plane's 71 kg pilot?
Answers
MathMate
From Newton's second law: F=ma
Given:
Total mass=33000+71kg
F=38000N
Calculate acceleration of plane & pilot, a.
Force on pilot=mass of pilot*acceleration
