The lifting force, F, exerted on an airplane wing varies jointly as the area, A, of the wing's surface and the square of the plane's velocity, v. The lift of a wing with an area of 130 square feet is 5,200 pounds when the plane is going at 150 miles per hour. Find the lifting force if the speed is 220 miles per hour. Round your answer to the nearest integer if necessary.
