Early test flights for the space shuttle used a "glider" (mass of 980 kg including pilot). After a horizontal launch at 500 km/h at a height of 4000 m , the glider eventually landed at a speed of 220 km/h .

a) What would its landing speed have been in the absence of air resistance?

b) What was the average force of air resistance exerted on it if it came in at a constant glide angle of 14 ∘ to the Earth's surface?
