Question

The figure shows a jet engine suspended beneath the wing of an airplane. The weight of the engine is 14900 N and acts as shown in the figure. In flight the engine produces a thrust of 61500 N that is parallel to the ground. The rotational axis in the figure is perpendicular to the plane of the paper. With respect to this axis, find the magnitude of the torque due to (a) the weight and (b) the thrust.

Answer 1

We have that for the Question, it can be said that With respect to this axis, the magnitude of the torque due to the weight and ,the thrust is

• TW=19740N-m

• TT=130387.39N-m

From the question we are told

The figure shows a jet engine suspended beneath the wing of an airplane. The weight of the engine is 14900 N and acts as shown in the figure. In flight the engine produces a thrust of 61500 N that is parallel to the ground. The rotational axis in the figure is perpendicular to the plane of the paper. With respect to this axis, find the magnitude of the torque due to (a) the weight and (b) the thrust.

a)

Generally the equation for the Torque due to weight  is mathematically given as

$TW=Engine weight*2.50*sin32\\\\TW=14900*2.50*sin32$

TW=19740N-m

b)

Generally the equation for the Torque due to thrust  is mathematically given as

$TT=Engine thrust*2.50*cos32\\\\TT=61500*2.50*cos32$

TT=130387.39N-m
