Question74. A helicopter flies over the arctic ice pack at a constant altitude, towing an airborne 129kg129-\mathrm{kg} laser sensor that measures the thickness of the ice (see the drawing). The helicopter and the sensor both move only in the horizontal direction and have a horizontal acceleration of magnitude 2.84 m/s22.84 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}. Ignoring air resistance, find the tension in the cable towing the sensor.

Studdy Solution
The tension in the cable towing the sensor is 366.36 N\mathbf{366.36 \text{ N}}.
