An advanced spatial disorientation trainer is programmed to only rotate and
translate in the horizontal plane. The pilot's location is defined by the relationships
r = 8(1-et) and 0 = 2/n(sin t), where r, 0, and t are expressed in feet,
radians, and seconds, respectively. Determine the radial and transverse
components of the force exerted on the 175-lb pilot at t= 3 s.
