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?arrow_forward
