hello! I am working on a small glider that will be propelled by either a B6-4 or C6-5 Estes solid rocket motor; I am writing a python script that will(hopefully) model the flight path on a 2D plane. Right now the software accounts for everything except the following aspect, and that is if we treat the plane like a lever where the CG is the fulcrum the main wing is the effort and the rear stabilizers are the resistance(this would be a third class lever). How could I calculate the change in the plane's angle over time? For example, if this "lever" is not in equilibrium and the effort(wing) does not have enough lift to cancel out the resistance how many degrees would the plane pitch up in a given time?
here is a concept lever where it would be appreciated if you use its measurements in your response(not actual measurements its just so that we are all on the same page)
.1
|-------------------------------------------|
.01 m resistance(5N)
|--------------| |
---------------------------------------------
/\ ^
fulcrum effort(10N)
so basically how would I go about finding the lever angle after time(t) for the given forces?
