A model airplane of mass 0.75 kg flies in a horizontal circle at the end of  a 60 m control wire, with a speed of 35 m/s. Determine the tension in the wire if it makes a constant angle of 20 degrees with the horizontal. The forces exerted on the airplane are the pull of the control wire, its own weight, and aerodynamic lift, which acts at 20 degrees inward from the vertical as shown in the diagram
