The launch catapult of the aircraft carrier gives the 7-Mg jet airplane a constant acceleration and launches the airplane in a distance of 100 m measured along the angled takeoff ramp. The carrier is moving at a steady speed vC = 16 m/s. If an absolute aircraft speed of 90 m/s is desired for takeoff, determine the net force F supplied by the catapult and the aircraft engines.
