Early test flights for the space shuttle used a "glider" (mass of 980 kg including pilot). After a horizontal launch at 600 km/h from a height of 3600 mm , the glider eventually landed at a speed of 210 km/h.   part a  What would its landing speed have been in the absence of air resistance? Part b  What was the average force of air resistance exerted on it if it came in at a constant glide of 12 degrees to the Earth?   can you please help with part b?
