The 600,000-lb jet airliner has a touchdown velocity v = 120 mi/hr directed = 0.5 below

Question:

The 600,000-lb jet airliner has a touchdown velocity v = 120 mi/hr directed θ = 0.5° below the horizontal. The touchdown process of the eight main wheels takes 0.6 sec to complete. Treat the aircraft as a particle and estimate the average normal reaction force at each wheel during this 0.6-sec process, during which tires deflect, struts compress, etc. Assume that the aircraft lift equals the aircraft weight during the touchdown.
