2. Given: Four forces act on a small airplane in flight: its weight (25 kN), the thrust provided by the
engine (10 kN), the lift provided by the wings (24 kN), and the drag resulting from its motion
through the air (1 kN). Determine the resultant of the four forces and its line of action with
respect to the axis of the plane.











Required: resultant forces and line of action
Solution:
