The 200-kg glider B is being towed by airplane A, which is flying horizontally with a constant speed of v = 208 km/h. The tow cable has a length r = 64 m and may be assumed to form a straight line. The glider is gaining altitude and when θ reaches 15∘, the angle is increasing at the constant rate θ = 7 deg/s. At the same time the tension in the tow cable is 2220 N for this position. Calculate the aerodynamic lift L and drag D acting on the glider. Assume ϕ = 13∘

The physics associated with statics has considerable applications in engineering. As a mechanical engineer working for a tow-truck manufacturer, you have been asked to evaluate the purchase of a new line of towing cable. The supplier claims that, although its cables are not as strong as its competitors (maximum tension capability of 9110 lb), the cost savings make it a good investment. A schematic of the towing configuration is shown. The car weighs 6479 lb, which is as large as the company expects their tow trucks to service. The overall length L of the car is 10.1 ft, and the distance d between the midpoints of the front and back tires is 9.09 ft. The bottom of the car's frame is a height hf = 0.370 above the ground, and the car's center of mass is a height hCM = 1.50 above the bottom of the car's frame. The angle ϕ between the midpoint of the tires and the tow cable is 50.0∘. Assume the CM of the car is positioned exactly halfway across its length, the geometry of the wheels and front/rear of the car is symmetrical, and that the coefficient of friction between the road and tires is sufficient to maintain no acceleration in the system. Calculate the tension T in the cable just as the front of the car begins to lift off the ground. Assume that the front end rises at a constant velocity. T = lb Based on your results, what would you advise your company? The cable they are offering is more than adequate. The cost savings make this a worthwhile investment. The cable they are offering is too weak to use. I would decline the purchase.
