A model airplane of mass 0.750 kg flies in a horizontal circle at the end of a 60 cm control wire, with a speed of 35 m/s. Compute the tension in the wire, if it makes a constant angle of 20.o with the horizontal. The force exerted on the airplane are the pull of the control wire, the gravitational force, and aerodynamics lift, which acts at 20o inward from the vertical
