The airplane weighs 119250 lbs and flies at constant speed and trajectory given by 0 on the figure. The plane experiences a drag force of 68780 lbs. a.) If @ = 13.1°, determine the thrust and lift forces required to maintain this speed and trajectory. b.) Next consider the case where 0 is unknown, but it is known that the lift force is equal to 7.4 times the quantity (Fthrust – Fdrag). Compute the resulting trajectory angle 8 and the lift force in this case. Use the same values for the weight and drag forces as you used for part a. YA' ** Frag х o CC OOO Exhrust x' BY NC SA 2013 Michael Swanbom Flift Fweight The lift force acts in the y' direction. The weight acts in the negative y direction. The thrust force acts in the negative x' direction. The drag force acts in the positive x' direction. Part (a) The thrust force is equal to lbs. The lift force is equal to lbs. Part (b) The trajectory angle @ is equal to degrees. The lift force is equal to lbs.
