Answer:
Second Law
Explanation:
Newton's second law states that the acceleration caused in a body is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportion to the mass of the body.
This is given by :
In this case the suggestion given to reduce the aircraft's cargo load is the right move as reducing the load on the aircraft will decrease the mass of the whole aircraft. This in turn will help the aircraft to accelerate more as acceleration inversely varies with mass. Thus the aircraft will be able to reach its flying speed even on a short run way.
Hence, Newton's second law is applied.
