An 'action-adventure' star in a movie is hanging from a helicopter. Very exciting. He has a mass of 90 kg, and he is hanging onto the helicopter with his left hand. Hanging from the 'star' and holding onto his right hand is a 60 kg panda! Determine the tension acting 'inside' each of the stars arms if: a) The helicopter is flying at a constant speed. (easy!) b) The helicopter begins rising at a rate of 1.0 m/s² c) The helicopter begins descending at a rate of 1.5 m/s² d) If the 'star's arm has a maximum strength of 1 800 N, what is the minimum acceleration required of the helicopter if the pilot wants to kill the 'star' and the panda!?!?? nage transcription text Ⓒ An 'action-adventure' star in a movie is hanging from a helicopter.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

Heres how we can find the tension acting in the stars arms in each scenario a Helicopter at constant speed In this case the only forces acting on the star and panda are gravity and the tension in thei... View the full answer
