A model airplane of mass 0.750 kg flies with a speed of 35.0 m/s in a horizontal circle at the end of a 60.0-m con- trol wire as shown in Figure P7.60a. The forces exerted on the airplane are shown in Figure P7.60b; the tension in the control wire, 0 = 20.0° inward from the vertical. Compute the tension in the wire, assuming the wire makes a constant angle of 0 = 20.0° with the horizontal. Circular path of airplane lift Wire | mg Б Figure P7.60

Why is the following situation impossible? The object of mass m = 4.00 kg in Figure P5.18 is attached to a vertical rod by two strings of length = 2.00 m. The strings are attached to the rod at points a distance d = 3.00 m apart. The object rotates in a horizontal circle at a constant speed of v = 3.00 m/s, and the strings remain taut. The rod rotates along with the object so that the strings do not wrap on to the rod. What If? Could this situation be possible on another planet?
