76. A rescue helicopter is lifting a man (weight = 822 N) from a cap- sized boat by means of a cable and harness. (a) What is the tension in the cable when the man is given an initial upward acccleration of 1.10 m/s²? (b) What is the tension during the remainder of the rescue when he is pulled upward at a constant velocity?
