Question

A model airplane with a mass of 0.749 kg is tethered by a wire so that it flies in a circle 29.0 m in radius. The airplane engine provides a net thrust of 0.801 N perpendicular to the tethering wire.

a)Find the torque the net thrust produces about the center of the circle. (in N*m)

b)Find the angular acceleration of the airplane when it is in level flight. (in rad/s^2)

c)Find the linear acceleration of the airplane tangent to its flight path. (in m/s^2)

HELP!!! I have not idea where to even start with this problem. If you could be explicit in your answer it would be very helpful!!!
