Ten vectors together add to give a zero resultant it is possible that nine of these vectors are on the same plane but the tenth is not on this plane?

No. The tenth vector would have to be matched by one equal and opposite vector to yield a zero resultant, or by multiple vectors in the second plain collectively yielding a zero resultant for that plane. It would be possible, for example, for 8 vectors to be on the same plane and two on a different plane to give a zero resultant.


What are the different types of balances used in a physics laboratory?

Common types of balances used in physics laboratories include electronic balances, beam balances, and spring balances. Electronic balances provide quick and accurate measurements of mass, beam balances use a lever arm to compare masses, and spring balances measure force by the stretch of a spring.


How would you weight a plane without scales?

Answers:* Disassemble the plane and load it onto a cargo ship. The ship will sink lower into the water with the plane on board than it was before. The change in freeboard will translate into a tonnage loaded. * Compact the plane into as tight a cube as possible. The volume of the cube multiplied by the density of the main component of the plane (e.g. aluminum) will provide a good estimate of the weight. * Toe the plane down a long runway at increasing speed. At the wind speed that the plane lifts off the back calculation of the engineering for the wings will tell you the "lift" provided. This will equal the weight


What type of balance is the most accurate?

A digital balance typically provides the most accurate measurements compared to other types of balances like beam balances or spring balances. Digital balances can measure weight to very precise decimal points, making them ideal for situations where high accuracy is required.


What helps stabilize an airplane?

Flight control surfaces such as ailerons, elevators, and rudders, along with the autopilot system, work together to stabilize an airplane during flight. The aircraft's design, including its weight distribution and center of gravity, also plays a critical role in maintaining stability. Pilots use their skills to adjust these factors as needed to keep the airplane stable in various flight conditions.

Why is a plane's automatic pilot called George?

Answers vary. There is a discussion of the naming of the autopilot here.


What does the pilot do when the plane is on auto pilot?

When the plane is on autopilot, the pilot monitors the autopilot to ensure it is functioning properly. They make necessary adjustments to maintain the desired flight path and comply with Air Traffic Control instructions. They also monitor their gauges: oil temp, fuel, rpms, etc.


Why did Charles Lindbergh stay awake in the flight over the atlantic?

Because without an autopilot, and being alone in the plane, he had to remain awake to fly the plane and avoid crashing.


Autopilot on plane harmful to environment?

Autopilot on planes can actually help reduce fuel consumption and emissions by helping optimize flight routes and maintain a more consistent speed. By allowing for more precise flight control, autopilot can contribute to more efficient flights that minimize environmental impact.


How did Payne Stewart die?

Payne Stewart probably died due to the decompression of the private plane he was in. The plane was on autopilot and several hours after the point where everyone was probably already dead there was a tragic plane crash.

Can a plane land on autopilot?

Yes it can, it's known as a Cat III approach If you are still confused about this. Watch Dnthenumber10's tutorials.

What drives the plane at take off?

The captain and copilot pull the yoke back and the aircraft takes off autopilot can't help take off for some reason. Pilot's fly the plane .


Can a boeing777 land on autopilot?

YES! ANY modern airliner can land on autopilot as long as the airport has a ILS (instrument Landing System) The pilot/s would tune in the ILS frequency to NAV 1 module and then engage autopilot and select the APP or APR button, this will keep the plane on the connrect glideslope and flightpaff. all the pilotsb have to do is adjust power acordingly and operate the flaps


How does an auto pilot work?

Autopilot or otherwise known as Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) is an integrated system in most advanced airplanes. Autopilots can control from one to three axes of motion. They work by controlling the main control surfaces on a plane, ailerons which control roll along the longitudinal axis, rudder which control yaw along the vertical axis, and elevator which control pitch along the lateral axis. To operate the system, the pilot enters the information, such as altitude and heading, and the system compares this information with sensors on the airplane. If the autopilot senses a discrepancy between the pilot input and the sensors on the airplane, it sends a signal to the servo in charge of moving the control surface in order to correct this discrepancy. For example if the pilot enters into the autopilot an altitude of 10000ft, and the altimeter sensor detects that the altitude is 8000ft the autopilot will send a signal to the servo that controls the elevator, this signal will tell the servo to move the elevator up in order to increase the altitude. This motion of the elevator is the same as if the pilot had pulled back on the yoke to increase altitude.The most common autopilots control the following surfaces.Single axis autopilot - control the aileronsDual axis autopilot - control ailerons and elevatorThree axis autopilot - control ailerons, rudder, and elevator
