A plane weighing 229 kN (23.3 tons) lands on an aircraft
carrier. The plane is moving horizontally at 67.3 m/s (150.6 mi/h)
when its tailhook grabs hold of the arresting cables. The cables
bring the plane to a stop in a distance of 84.0 m.
What is the force (assumed constant) exerted on the plane by the
cables? Enter a negative value if the force exerted on the plane is
opposite to its direction of motion. Enter a positive value if the
force exerted on the plane is in the direction of motion.
