A helicopter of mass M = 15000 kg is lifting a cubical box of mass m = 2000 kg. The helicopter is going up with an acceleration of a = 1.2 m//s^(2). The four strings are tied at mid points of the sides of the square face PQRS of the box. The strings are identical and form a knot at K. Another string KH connects the knot to the helicopter. Neglect mass of all strings and take g = 10 m//s^(2). Length of each string AK, BK, CK and DK is equal to side length of the cube.(a) Find tension T in string AK.(b) Find tension T_(0) in string KH. (c) Find the force (F) applied by the atmosphere on the helicopter. Assume that theatmosphere exerts a negligible force on the box. (d) If the four strings are tied at P,Q,R and S instead of A, B, C & D, how will the quantities T, T_(0) and F change? Will they increase or decrease? Assume that length of the four identical strings remains same.
