The helicopter and the sensor move only in the horizontal direction and have a horizontal acceleration of magnitude 3.52 m/s2. Ignoring air resistance, find the tension in the cable towing the sensor Homework 6 (Chapter Chapter 04 Problem 016 GO Chapter 04, Problem 021 Chapter 04 Problem 039 Chapter 04, Problem 057 Chapter 04 Problem 076 hapter 04, Problem Chapter 04, Problem 064 GO Review Score Objective Number the tolerance is +/-296 Click if you would like to Show Work for this question: Open Show Work Units SHOW HINT LINK TO TEXTExplanation / Answer
Given that,
mass of laser sensor, m = 167 kg
Horizontal acceleration of sensor, ax = 3.52 m/s^2
Horizontal force on cable,
Fx = m*ax
Fx = 167*3.52 = 587.84 N
Vertical force on the cable,
Fy = mg
Fy = 167*9.8 = 1636.6 N
Tension in cable towing the sensor,
T = sqrt (Fx^2 + Fy^2)
T = 1738.96 N
