Question

Physics

You are in a helicopter towing a 127-kg laser detector that ismapping out the thickness of the Brunt Ice Shelf along the coast ofAntarctica. The original cable used to suspend the detector wasdamaged and replaced by a lighter one with a maximum tension ratingof 304 pounds, not much more than the weight of the detector. Thereplacement cable would work without question in the case that thedetector and helicopter were not accelerating. However, someacceleration of the helicopter is inevitable. In order to monitorthe tension force on the cable to make sure the maximum is notexceeded (and therefore to not lose the very expensive detector)you calculate the maximum angle the cable can make with thevertical without the cable exceeding the tension limit.(a) Assuming straight and level flight of thehelicopter, what is that maximum angle? (b) Whatis the corresponding acceleration? (c) Yourcolleague wants to add a 8.00-kg infrared camera to the detector.What is the maximum allowable angle now?
