An airplane of mass 13300 kg is flying in a straight line at a constant altitude and with a speed of 560.0 km/hr. The force that keeps the airplane in the air is provided entirely by the aerodynamic lift generated by the wings. The direction of this force is perpendicular to the wing surface. Calculate the magnitude of the lift generated by the wings of this airplane.

Answer:

The magnitude of the lift generated by the wings of the airplane is 130,340 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the airplane, m = 13,300 kg

speed of the airplane, v = 560 km/h = 155.56 m/s

The magnitude of the lift generated by the wings of the airplane is calculated as;

[tex]F_l = mg\\\\where;\\\\F_l \ is \ the \ magnitude \ of \ the \ lift \ generated\\g \ is \ acceleration \ due \ to \ gravity = 9.8 \ m/s^2\\\\F_l = 13,300 \times \ 9.8\\\\F_l = 130,340 \ N[/tex]

Therefore, the magnitude of the lift generated by the wings of the airplane is 130,340 N.
