The aircraft carrier is moving at a constant speed and launches a jet plane with a mass of 3 Mg in a distance of 75 m along the deck by means of a steam-driven catapult. If the plane leaves the deck with a velocity of 240 km/h relative to the carrier and if the jet thrust is constant at 22 kN during takeoff, compute the constant force P exerted by the catapult on the airplane during the 75-m travel of the launch carriage.
