4) A 737-800 has a yawing (rotational) moment of inertia of about 8 x 107 slug.ft? (L.OVE those units!) and a max take-off weight of 174,000 lbf. The distance to the preferred seats at the back (next to the toilets) from the c.g. is about 50 ft. A passenger will begin to feel highly stressed if he/she experiences an acceleration of 0.5 g: they will then sue the airline for pain & suffering. What value of the yaw angular acceleration would this correspond to?
