Compute the speed of the airliner


Solve the below problem:

Q: A jetliner is cruising at a speed of 900 km/h with each of its three engines discharging air with a velocity of 800 m/s relative to the plane. Determine the speed of the airliner after it has lost the use of

(a) One of its engines,

(b) Two of its engines. Assume that the drag due to air friction is proportional to the square of the speed and that the remaining engines keep operating at the samerate.
