Question

of the following and draw a neat, properly labelled free body diagram. Indicate the size of forces with the lengths of the arrows. i.e., if two forces are the same size draw them the same length and if one is much bigger draw it much longer. a) The Space Shuttle accelerating vertically just after leaving the launch pad.

Answer 1

We will have that the diagram will be the following:

Here "F" is the force the shuttle is using to take off, friction is the friction with the air and "W" is the weight of the shuttle.
