Problem: A helicopter flies over the arctic ice pack at a constant altitude, towing an airborne 145-kg laser sensor which measures the thickness of the ice. The helicopter and the sensor move only in the horizontal direction and have a horizontal acceleration of magnitude 2.49 m/s2.

Part A: Ignoring air resistance, find the tension in the cable towing the sensor.

I want help to find the tension in the cable towing the sensor.
