Question

The pilot of an airplane weighing 40850 kg. Originally flying horizontally at a speed of 650 kmph cuts off all engine power and enters a glide path as shown in figure where \(\beta = 5.6^{\circ}\). After two minutes the airspeed of the plane gets reduced to 580 kmph. Determine the magnitude of the time averaged drag force.
