Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.32DQ
A manual for student pilots contains this passage: “When an airplane flies at a steady altitude, neither climbing nor descending, the upward lift force from the wings equals the plane’s weight. When the plane is climbing at a steady rate, the upward lift is greater than the weight; when the plane is descending at a steady rate, the upward lift is less than the weight.” Are these statements correct? Explain.

Glara wants to weigh a heavy box, however her Newton Scale only measures up to
100N, which is less than the weight of the box. She has the brilliant idea of placing
the box on ramp, inclined at 40°. She measures force exerted parallel to the ramp
to be 80N.
Determine the weight of the box in Newtons.
(Ignore friction!)

An airplane in flight is subject to an air resistance force proportional to the
square of its speed v. But there is an additional resistive force because the
airplane has wings. Air flowing over the wings is pushed down and slightly
forward, so from Newton’s third law the air exerts a force on the wings and
airplane that is up and slightly backward. The upward force is the lift force
that keeps the airplane aloft, and the backward force is called induced drag. At
flying speeds, induced drag is inversely proportional to v
2
, so that the total air
resistance force can be expressed by
Fair = av2 + b/v2
where a and b are positive constants that depend on the shape and size of
the airplane and the density of the air.
For a Cessna 150, a small single-engine airplane, a = 0.30 N.s2
/m2 and
b = 3.5×105 N.m2
/s
2
. In steady flight, the engine must provide a forward force
that exactly balances the air resistance force.

A lamp hangs vertically from a cord in a descending elevator that decelerates at 2.5 m/s2. (a) If the tension in the cord is 95 N, what is the lamp's mass? (b) What is the cord's tension when the elevator ascends with an upward acceleration of 2.5 m/s2?
