A helicopter flies over the arctic ice pack at a constant altitude, towing an airborne 137-kg laser sensor that measures the thickness of the ice (see the drawing). The helicopter and the sensor both move only in the horizontal direction and have a horizontal acceleration of magnitude 2.63 m/s2. Ignoring air resistance, find the tension in the cable towing the sensor. Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

The value is    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the laser sensor is  

    The horizontal acceleration of the helicopter and the sensor is  

Generally the net force on the cable is              

    Here W  is the weight of the sensor  which is evaluated as

     So

=>    

=>    

i would say the answer is food.

hope this !

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
