Answer to Problem 14.74P
Magnitude
Distance
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Velocity of B
Velocity of A
To determine the line of action of propulsive thrust use a frame of reference moving with the plane. Let, F be the force exerts by the plane on the air.
Now, applying the impulse moment principle:
Now,
Hence,
Again, moment about B,
Let d be the distance,
(b)
