Question: In order to shorten the distance required for landing, a jet airplane is equipped with moveable vanes which partially reverse the direction of the air

In order to shorten the distance required for landing, a jet airplane is equipped with moveable vanes which partially reverse the direction of the air discharged by each of its engines. Each engine scoops in the air at a rate of 120 kg/s and discharges it with a velocity of 600 m/s relative to the engine. At an instant when the speed of the airplane is 270 km/h, determine the reverse thrust provided by each of theengines.
