3 An aircraft of mass 80000 kg travelling at \(90 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) touches down on a straight horizontal runway. It is brought to rest by braking and resistive forces which together are modelled by a horizontal force of magnitude ( \(27000 + 50 v ^ { 2 }\) ) newtons, where \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) is the speed of the aircraft. Find the distance travelled by the aircraft between touching down and coming to rest.
