The ascent of an airplane of mass m may be modeled as three stages. First, the aircraft leaves the ground with a constant acceleration a1 directed upward at an angle θ until time T. Second, the aircraft moves at constant speed until time 6T. Third, the aircraft has a constant downward acceleration until it is moving entirely horizontally at time 10T. Determine the (vertical) lift force on the aircraft as a function of time during the previously described ascent. You should also include a graph of the lift force with respect to t.
