Example
What is this all about?! Course outline Problem solving technique Example
Two aircrafts are being accelerated from stationary condition for 5 s prior to take off. The first plane weighing 3000 kg is being accelerated at 60 kN. The second plane weighing 2000 kg is being accelerated at 65 KN. Which plane is faster at take off?
