Question

The reactive force developed by a jet engine to push an airplane forward is called thrust, and the thrust developed by the engine of a boeing 777 is about 85400 lbf. express this thrust in n and kgf.

Answer 1

The value of the thrust developed by the engine of a boeing 777 in N and Kgf are ;

i) 376616N

ii) 38430Kgf

What is force?

Force is a push or a pull. The reactive force always serve to balance the applied force. We are here asked to convert the  the thrust developed by the engine of a boeing 777 which is about 85400 lbf to the following units;

i) N

ii)kgf

Thus;

1 Ib = 0.45 Kg

1 lbf = 0.45 Kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.41 N

We know that;

1 lbf = 4.41 N

85400 lbf = 85400 lbf. * 4.41 N/1 lbf

= 376616N

Again;

1 lbf = 0.45 Kgf

85400 lbf = 85400 lbf * 0.45 Kgf/1 lbf

= 38430Kgf
