Question

- An experienced pilot can keep an engineless glider aircraft aloft for hours by

using only the lift provided by rising air currents. Suppose during a flight an
upward force of 5.00 103 N is exerted on the glider. Simultaneously, the
glider experiences a forward force of 0.50 103 N. The gravitational force
acting on the glider and its pilot is 4.80 10N. Draw a free-body diagram of
the glider.

Answer 1

Flift=5.00×10³ N

Fhorizontal=0.50×10³ N

Fg=4.80×10³ N

Step-by-step explanation:
