Answer to Problem 79GP

The total force exerted by the cockpit seat on the pilot is 939.14N .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Acceleration of the jet aircraft, a=3.5m/s2

Angle of the jet aircraft with horizontal, θ=45°

Mass of the pilot, m=75kg

Formula Used:

Draw the free body diagram of the system.

Physics: Principles with Applications, Chapter 4, Problem 79GP

Here, Fx is the horizontal force component and Fy is the vertical force component. The weight of the pilot is mg .

The expression to calculate the horizontal component of the force is,

  Fx=macosθ

The expression to calculate the vertical component of the force is,

  Fy=mg+masinθ

  Fy=m(g+asinθ)

The expression to calculate the total force exerted by the cockpit seat on the pilot is,

  F=Fx2+Fy2

  F=(macosθ)2+(m(g+asinθ))2

  F=m(acosθ)2+(g+asinθ)2

Where,

  F is the total force.

Calculation:

Substitute all the values in the above expression.

  F=(75kg)((3.5m/s2)(cos45°))2+(9.8m/s2+(3.5m/s2)(sin45°))2

  =939.14N

Conclusion:

Thus, the total force exerted by the cockpit seat on the pilot is 939.14N .
