You are in a helicopter towing a 127-kg laser detector that is mapping out the thickness of the Brunt Ice Shelf along the coast of Antarctica. The original cable used to suspend the detector was damaged and replaced by a lighter one with a maximum tension rating of 304 pounds, not much more than the weight of the detector. The replacement cable would work without question in the case that the detector and helicopter were not accelerating. However, some acceleration of the helicopter is inevitable. In order to monitor the tension force on the cable to make sure the maximum is not exceeded (and therefore to not lose the very expensive detector) you calculate the maximum angle the cable can make with the vertical without the cable exceeding the tension limit. (a) Assuming straight and level flight of the helicopter, what is that maximum angle? (b) What is the corresponding acceleration? (c) Your colleague wants to add a 8.00-kg infrared camera to the detector. What is the maximum allowable angle now?

Please make sure to check your work majority of the answers I recieve on here are wrong

Describe how you used the interference pattern to figure out the wavelength of the laser. It is required to draw the observed interference pattern here and clearly specify the parts you used for the calculation (Hint: In double-slit interference experiment, given the position of the ?-th bright spot as ?, the distance between the slit and the screen as ?, and the distance between the two slits as ?, the wavelength of light source can be expressed as ? =...

While out on your 3rd floor apartment balcony, you notice someone drop a 8.0 kg ball from rest from the roof of the 5 story building across the street. You know that the two identical buildings are 34 m apart, and have floors that are 5.0 m tall. The first floor is at ground level. m = 8.0 kg d = 34 m h = 5.0 (a) determine the magnitude of the angular momentum of the ball, in kilogram meters...
