While cruising in level flight at a speed of 570 mi/h, a jet airplane scoops in air at a rate of 240 lb/s and discharges it with a velocity of 2200 ft/s relative to the airplane. Determine (a) the power actually used to propel the airplane, (b) the total power developed by the engine, (c) the mechanical efficiency of the airplane.
The rocket engines of a spacecraft are fired to increase its velocity by 450 ft/s. Knowing that 1200 lb of fuel is ejected at a relative velocity of 5400 ft/s, determine the weight of the spacecraft after the firing.
A helicopter flying with a velocity of 160km/h at elevation 500m above sea level dropped supplies to hit the barracks situated at elevation 200m above sea level. Determine the distance, in meters, from the barracks the supplies should be dropped so that they will fall within the barracks site.
