Helicopter and sensor both move only in horizontal direction

Reference no: EM13645801

A helicopter flies over the arctic ice pack at a constant altitude,towing an airborne 128-kg laser sensor that measures the thickness of the ice. The helicopter and the sensor both move only in the horizontal direction and have a horizontal acceleration of magnitude 2.71m/s². Ignoring air resistance, find the tension in the cable towing the sensor.
