The tow rope is attached to the car, then routed through pulley B which is anchored to the ground, then back to pulley A on the car, then all the way to the Flyer. Q 1. With Orville on board, the minimum take off speed of the Flyer is 40mph. In a 10mph headwind, at what minimum speed should Wilbur drive to launch his brother? | |||
