The Attempt at a Solution
I am completely lost on this question. I have seen numerous examples on the internet, with the exact problem, but no one has gotten the correct answer. After two hours and 20+ wrong answers I gave up and opted to see the answer. However, I would like to know how it was solved. Here is what I did that got me close to the right answer.
Solved for acceleration indepentant of friction. Which was 82/35 giving me 2.343m/s^2.
I plugged that in for f(thrust)=ma -> (75,000)(2.343) = 175,725 N.
This is too low and doesn't involve rolling friction. From a table in my book I figured rolling friction was 0.020 for rubber on concrete. I then solved for the friction.
m=75,000
g=9.80
f=0.020
F=ma -> F=(75,000)(9.80)(0.020) = 14,700N
Since the thrust will have to include overcoming friction the whole time, I add those two values and get 190,425 N.
This is the only way I can come close to the actual answer. I've done it a bunch of different ways, none were within 20k of the answer.
How should one actually solve this?
The answer given is 190,000N.
