A 16-Mg jet airplane maintains a constant speed of 774 km/h while climbing at an angle a = 18°. The airplane scoops in air at a rate of 300 kg/s and discharges it with a velocity of 665 m/s relative to the airplane. If the pilot changes to a horizontal flight while maintaining the same engine setting, determine (a) the initial acceleration of the plane, (b) the maximum horizontal speed that will be attained. Assume that the drag due to air friction is proportional to the square of the speed.

Human centrifuges are often used to simulate different acceleration levels for pilots. When aerospace physiologists say that a pilot is pulling 9 g,s , they mean that the resultant normal force on the pilot from the bottom of the seat is nine times their weight. Knowing that the centrifuge starts from rest and has a constant angular acceleration of 1.5 RPM per second until the pilot is pulling 9 g's and then continues with a constant angular velocity, determine (a) how long it will take for the pilot to reach 9 g's (b) the angle 0 of the normal force once the pilot reaches 9 g’s. Assume that the force parallel to the seat is zero.

A polisher is started so that the fleece along the circumference undergoes a constant tangential acceleration of 4 m/s2 . Three seconds after it is started, small tufts of fleece from along the circumference of the 225-mm-diameter polishing pad are observed to fly free of the pad. At this instant, determine (a) the speed v of a tuft as it leaves the pad, (b ) the magnitude of the force required to free a tuft if the average mass of a tuft is 1.6 mg.
