Final answer:

The subject of this question is Physics as it relates to the maximum takeoff weight of an aircraft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Physics as it relates to the maximum takeoff weight of an aircraft. Maximum takeoff weight is a concept in physics that determines the heaviest weight an aircraft can safely take off with. It involves factors such as the force of lift, the density of air, and the acceleration of the aircraft.

The MTOW of an aircraft is the maximum mass, defined by the aircraft manufacturer (due to structural or other limits), at which the aircraft is certified for take off.

The 747's maximum takeoff weight ranges from 735,000 pounds (333 t) for the -100 to 970,000 pounds (440 t) for the -8. Its range has increased from 5,300 nautical miles (9,800 km; 6,100 mi) on the -100 to 8,000 nautical miles (15,000 km; 9,200 mi) on the -8I.
