A large airplane typically has three sets of wheels: one at the front and two farther back, one on each side under the wings. Co

nsider the Boeing 787 "Dreamliner", with a mass of 177000 kg. In this particular model, the distance from the front wheels to the rear set of wheels is 21.7 m.
(a) If the center of mass of the airplane is along a line through the center and 3.00 m in front of the rear wheels, how much force, in meganewtons, does the ground exert on each set of rear wheels when the plane is at rest on the runway?
(b) How much force, in meganewtons, does the ground exert on the front set of wheels?

(a) The force the ground exerts on each set of rear wheels when the plane is at rest on the runway is 0.743 MN.

(b) The force the ground exerts on the front set of wheels is 0.239 MN.

<h3>Center mass of the airplane</h3>

The concept of center mass of an object can be used to dtermine the mass distribution of the airplane along the line through the center.

<h3>Some assumptions</h3>
  • The wheels under the wind do not pass through the center line.
  • The position of the front wheel is constant and it is zero mark (origin).
  • The rear wheels are at 21.7 m mark

Position of the center mass of the plane is calculated as follows;

Let the position of the center mass, Xcm = y

the center mass is 3 m in front of rear wheels, that is

21.7 - y = 3

y = 21.7 - 3

y = 18.7 m

Xcm = 18.7 m

<h3>Mass of the plane at the position of the rear wheels</h3>

Let the mass of the plane at front wheels = M1

Let the mass of the plane at rear wheels = M2

X_{cm} = \frac{M_1x_1 + M_2x_2}{M_1 + M_2}

18.7 = \frac{M_1(0) + M_2(21.7)}{177000} \\\\3,309,900 = 21.7M_2\\\\M_2 = \frac{3,309,900}{21.7} \\\\M_2 = 152,529.95 \ kg

<h3>Force exerted by the ground on each rear wheel</h3>

There are two rear wheels, and the force exerted on each wheel due to mass of the airplane at this position is calculated as follows;

W = mg\\\\W_1 = W_2 = \frac{1}{2} (mg) = \frac{1}{2} (152,529.95 \times 9.8) = 743,396.76 \ N= 0.743 \ MN

<h3>Mass of the plane at the position of the front wheel</h3>

M1 + M2 = 177,000

M1 = 177,000 - M2

M1 = 177,000 - 152,529.95

M1 = 24,470.05 kg

<h3>Force exerted by the ground on the front wheel</h3>

W = mg

W = 24,470.05 x 9.8

W = 239,806.5 N = 0.239 MN

How do we find an atom's mass number?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

To calculate the atomic mass of a single atom of an element, add up the mass of protons and neutrons. Example: Find the atomic mass of an isotope of carbon that has 7 neutrons. You can see from the periodic table that carbon has an atomic number of 6, which is its number of protons.

What are the major steps of solar system formation in the correct order?
Gala2k [10]

Answer:(1) Pre-solar nebula

(2). Planet formation

Explanation:

Nebular hypothesis says that the Solar System formed from the gravitational collapse of a fragment of a giant molecular cloud.

One of the collapsing fragments called the pre-solar nebula formed what became the Solar System.

The planet can also be formed by accretion. Accretion is a process in which planets began as dust grains in orbit around the central protostar.

When the terrestrial planets were forming, they remained immersed in a disk of gas and dust.
