•• P8 A helicopter flies to the right (in the +x direction) at a constant speed of 12 m/s, parallel to the surface of the ocean. A 900 kg package of supplies is suspended below the helicopter by a cable as shown in Figure 5.66: the package is also traveling to the right in a straight line, at a constant speed of 12 m/s. The pilot is concerned about whether or not the cable, whose breaking strength is listed at 9300 N, is strong enough to support this package under these circumstances. (a) Choose the package as the system, and draw a free-body diagram. (b) What is the magnitude of the tension in the cable supporting the package? (c) Write the force exerted on the package by the cable as a vector. (d) What is the magnitude of the force exerted by the air on the package? (e) Write the force on the package by the air as a vector. (f) Is the cable in danger of breaking? 11 m: |----- 4.5 m
