A large transport aircraft shown below whose gross weight is 100,000 lb. The airplane pitching mass moment of inertia Iy=40,000,000 lb-s2 in. The airplane is making a level landing with the nose wheel slightly off the ground. The reaction on the rear wheels is 319,000 lbf inclined at such an angle to give a drag component of 100,000 lb and a vertical component of 300,000 lb. Determine: a) The intertial forces on the airplane. b)The resultant load on the pilot whose weight is 180 lbm and whose location is as given in the figure.
A smooth aluminum sphere hangs in air on a 0.5 m-long cable. The
sphere has a diameter of 10 cm and weighs 1.5 N (it is hollow). It is
observed that a steady wind causes the sphere and cable to be displaced
so that = 20°. Assume that the weight of the cable and the drag force
on the cable are negligible.

- You are designing an airfoil for a new hobby RC plane. Because of your limited knowledge, you have mistakenly approximated your airfoil as an ellipse with a = 75mm and b = 12mm. Here, “a” is the depth of your wing and “b” is the thickness. Your plane travels through the air at approximately 20mph (8.9m/s). As it does so, skin friction produces a drag-induced heat of 800W on your wind, of length 1m. Properties of Air: k = 0.025 W/mK, Pr = 0.72, v = 1.847 x 10−5, u = 16.84 x 10−6, p = 1.2 kg/m3, B = 1/Tf (ideal gas), TInfinity = 25oC a) What is the Reynold’s number?
