A carnival ride called the Hammerhead consists of a small gondola with people inside (total mass = 300 kg.) The gondola is attached to a rigid rotating arm. The arm is rotating at an angular velocity of 3.00 radians/second. The arm has a radius r= 2.90 meters. Find the tension in the arm when the angle 0 = 65° from the horizontal, as shown. Be sure to take the weight of the gondola into account.
