Commercial airplanes are sometimes pushed out of the passenger loading area by a tractor.
(a)
The 1800 kg tractor exerts a force of 1.55 104 N backward on the pavement, and the system experiences forces resisting motion that total 2400 N. If the acceleration is 0.100 m/s2, what is the mass of the airplane in kilograms?
Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.
The system under consideration here is the airplane plus the tractor. kg
(b)
Calculate the force (in N) exerted by the tractor on the airplane, assuming 2250 N of the friction is experienced by the airplane.
