Modern jet engines have vanes that are deployed to produce a reverse thrust just after a plane touches down on a runway. The air flow rate through a particular engine is $100 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s}$, and the combustion gases exit the engine at a speed of $800 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ relative to the engine. The fuel-air ratio is 1 to 40 in this case. Calculate the reverse thrust produced by the vanes for the configuration shown.
