Reference no: EM13333900

A helicopter lowers a rope with a seat at the end to resue someone. The seat has a mass of 4.4 kg. The person has a mass of 74.4 kg. The rope can be considered massless. The rope can only safely sustain a force of 860 N. The pilot intends to lift the person straight up into the air with an acceleration of 1.2 m/s^2. How much tension will be on the rope? Will it be safe for the person to get on?
