The largest hydraulic turbines in the world have shafts with individual masses that equal 3.18  10 5 kg. Suppose such a shaft is delivered to the assembly line on a trailer that is pulled with a horizontal force of 81.0 kN. If the force of friction opposing the motion is 62.0 kN, what is the magnitude of the trailer’s net acceleration? (Disregard the mass of the trailer.)

Oceanographers use submerged sonar systems, towed by a cable from a ship, to map the ocean floor. In addition to their downward weight, there are buoyant forces and forces from the flowing water that allow them to travel in a horizontal path. One such submersible has a cross-section area of 1.3 m2, a drag coefficient of 1.2, and, when towed at 5.1 m/s, the tow cable makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. What is the tension in the cable?
