Solution
When an aeroplane takes off into the sky, several forces act on it. The engine provides a forward thrust, while the air produces an upward lift on the wings. At the same time, the gravitational force of the Earth pulls the aeroplane downward, and air resistance opposes its motion. When the upward lift becomes greater than the downward pull of gravity, the aeroplane rises into the sky.
