Project Statement

As a $6000-$kg training plane lands on an aircraft carrier at a speed of $180$km$//$h$,$ its tail hooks into the end of an $80-$m long chain which lies in a pile below

deck. Knowing that the chain has a mass per unit length of $50$kg$//$m and assuming no other retarding force, use a computational software to determine the

time, velocity and deceleration of the plane when it travels a distance of $80$ m after landing and pulling out the chain.

The following tasks are required to achieve the objective:

$[20\%]$ Describe the plan to generate data for time t$,$ velocity v and decceleration a using the distance travelled by the plane from x$=0$ to $80$ m in $5-$m

increments. Show all equations. Justify the selection of the computational software.

Use the computational software of your choice, do the following tasks:

$[40\%]$ Derive the necessary equations to generate the data and plotting.

$[20\%]$ Generate a table containing x$,$t$,$v and a for x$=0$ to $80$ m $.$

$[20\%]$ Plot a$-$x$,$v$-$x and t$-$x for x$=0$ to $80$ m $.$

All work must be done using the computational software. No hand$-$written work is allowed.

Use excel as computational software. Thank you.
