The 150-kg glider B is being towed by airplane A, which is flying horizontally with a constant speed of v = 218 km/h. The tow cable has a length r = 51 m and may be assumed to form a straight line. The glider is gaining altitude and when θ reaches 16°, the angle is increasing at the constant rate = 3 deg/s. At the same time the tension in the tow cable is 1235 N for this position. Calculate the ff: a. the magnitude of the acceleration of glider B. b. aerodynamic lift L and drag D acting on the glider.
