It's possible for a determined (mathbb{N T}) group of people to pull an aircraft. Drag is negligible

Question:

It's possible for a determined \(\mathbb{N T}\) group of people to pull an aircraft. Drag is negligible at low speeds, and the only force impeding motion is the rolling friction of the rubber tires on the concrete runway. In 2000, a team of 60 British police officers set a world record by pulling a Boeing 747, with a mass of \(200,000 \mathrm{~kg}\), a distance of \(100 \mathrm{~m}\) in \(53 \mathrm{~s}\). The plane started at rest. Estimate the force with which each officer pulled on the plane, assuming constant pulling force and constant acceleration.
