A helicopter holding a 70-kg package suspended from a rope 5.0 m long accelerates upward at a rate of 5.2 m/s2. Ignore air resistance on the package.
a. Evaluate the tension in the rope?
b. When the upward velocity of the helicopter is 30 m/s, the rope is cut and the helicopter continues to accelerate upward at 5.3 m/s2. Find the distance between the helicopter and the package 2.0 sec after the rope is cut.
