Question: A Navy jet ( see the figure ) with a weight of 2 0 2 kN requires an airspeed of 8 9 . 0 m

A Navy jet (see the figure) with a weight of 202 kN requires an airspeed of 89.0 m/s for liftoff. T engine develops a maximum force of 100 kN, but that is insufficient for reaching takeoff speed the 93.0 m runway available on an aircraft carrier. What minimum force (assumed constant) is needed from the catapult that is used to help launch the jet? Assume that the catapult and the jet's engine each exert a constant force over the 93.0 m distance used for takeoff.
