20. Consider an airplane whose takeoff speed is 220 kmph and that takes 15 sec to takeoff at sea
level. For an airport at an elevation of 1600 m (such as Denver, Colorado), determine (a) the
takeoff speed, (b) the takeoff time, and (c) the additional runway length required for this
airplane. Assume constant acceleration for both cases. Assume air density at sea level =
1.225 kg/m3, and air density at 1600 m altitude = 1.048 kg/m3. [238 km/hr, 16.2 s, 77 m]
