The 150-kg glider B is being towed by airplane A, which is flying horizontally with a constant speed of v = 218 km/h. The tow cable has a length r = 51 m and may be assumed to form a straight line. The glider is gaining altitude and when e reaches 16°, the angle is increasing at the constant rate ở - 3 deg/s. At the same time the tension in the tow cable is 1235 N for this position. Calculate the aerodynamic lift L and drag D acting on the glider. Assume o - 11°.

Transcribed Image Text:The 150-kg glider B is being towed by airplane A, which is flying horizontally with a constant speed of v = 218 km/h. The tow cable has
a length r = 51 m and may be assumed to form a straight line. The glider is gaining altitude and when e reaches 16°, the angle is
increasing at the constant rate ở = 3 deg/s. At the same time the tension in the tow cable is 1235 N for this position. Calculate the
aerodynamic lift L and drag D acting on the glider.
Assume o = 11°.
