Homework Statement
A helicopter is flying at a constant altitude towing an airborn laser at 129kg. Both the chopper and the sensor move only horizontaly and have a acceleration of magnitude 2,84 m/s2. ignoring air restitance find the tension on the cable towing the sensor.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
T= mg + ma
T=129kg x 9,8 m/s2 + 129kg x 2,84 m/s2.
this equation only work if the chopper were flying vertical.
The right answer is 130N but need to know how to get there.
