Question

A model airplane of mass 0.760 kg flies with a speed of 35.0 m/s in a horizontal circle at the end of a 54.0-m-long control wire as shown in Figure (a). The forces exerted on the airplane are shown in Figure (b): the tension in the control wire, the gravitational force, and aerodynamic lift that acts at 0= 20.0° inward from the vertical. Compute the tension in the wire, assuming it makes a constant angle of 0 = 20.0° with the horizontal.
