An aircraft engine develops a forward thrust of 15,000 N. If the gross mass of the aircraft is 100 tons, what horsepower does the engine develop if it is flying at 1000 kph
Added by Carol J.
Step 1
- The forward thrust given is already in Newtons (N), which is the SI unit for force, so no conversion is needed there. - The mass of the aircraft is given in tons. Since 1 ton = 1000 kg, 100 tons = 100 * 1000 kg = 100,000 kg. - The speed of the aircraft is given Show more…

Each of the four jet engines on an Airbus A380 airliner develops a thrust (a forward force on the airliner) of 322,000 N (72,000 lb). When the airplane is flying at 250 m/s (900 km>h, or roughly 560 mi/h), what horsepower does each engine develop?
