F=Ma
M =79kg
a= 9.8ms^-2 (gravity)
There is no other acceleration component since the aeroplane is at constant velocity
so
Force on pilot is...
79 x 9.8 = 774.2 N
An airplane has a mass of 34,500 kg and takes off under the influence of a constant net force of 44,500 N. What is the net force that acts on the plane's 79 kg pilot?
