3. A conventional aircraft (tail to the rear), is in trimmed, level, unaccelerated flight. The wing is generating 40,000 lbs of lift and has a moment around the aerodynamic center of - 20,000 ft-lb. The aerodynamic center of the wing is located at 0.25c, the center of gravity is located at 0.45c, the aircraft has a chord of 5 ft, and the symmetric tail aerodynamic center is located 10 ft behind the center of gravity. What is the lift generated by the tail and what is the weight of the aircraft? {Hint: Draw a sketch and assume thrust and all drag forces act through the center of gravity.
