Question

The Lunar Lander of mass 2.2x10^4 kg made the last 160 m of its trip to the Moon's surface in 110 s, descending at approximately constant speed. The Handbook of Lunar Pilots indicates that the gravitational constant on the Moon is 1.633 N/kg. Determine the upward force required to descend at a constant speed.

Step 1

Given mass of the lunar lander, m = 2.2 x 10^4 kg Acceleration due to gravity on the Moon, g = 1.633 N/kg Downward force = m * g Show more…
