You are watching a television show about Navy pilots. The narrator says that when a Navy jet takes off, it accelerates because the engines are at full throttle and because there is a catapult that propels the jet forward. You begin to wonder how much force is supplied by the catapult. You look on the Web and find that the flight deck of an aircraft carrier is about 90 m long, that an F-14 has a mass of 33 000 kg, that each of the two engines supplies 27 000 lb of thrust and that the takeoff speed of such a plane is about 160 mi/h. Estimate the average force on the jet due to the catapult.
