Question

A rescue cable attached to a helicopter weighs 2 lb/ft. A 160-lb man grabs the end of

lifting the man if the helicopter is 40 ft above the water?

Answer 1

can i get some help?

Answer 2

Hmm, I can help you

Answer 3

YAY! thank you!

Answer 4

i dont have anything to give tho. sorry :(

Answer 5

If I am correct, work is force by distance, or w=fd

Answer 6

force is like the wieght he lifts, which is his wieght and the ropes, or 162 lb. per foot

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

so 162*40= what?

Answer 9

so 162x40

Answer 10

6480

Answer 11

that means the total force, if I am correct, is 6,480 Newtons

Answer 12

I would like someone to make sure

Answer 13

ok

Answer 14

so w = 6480d

Answer 15

Well, not really. w is joule, or newton-meter

Answer 16

say it is 6,480 j

Answer 17

@ganeshie8

Answer 18

but on the paper it says w= 8000

Answer 19

well I need another person to help

Answer 20

And ps Nobody else is helping you because this is a physics question

Answer 21

o but im in calculus 2 this was a calculus 2 question

Answer 22

hmm well Its kinda both

Answer 23

work and force are both used in physics. work and distance calculate force.

Answer 24

Those are from physics

Answer 25

o ok

Answer 26

Ask it in physics anyway. you will get more help

Answer 27

ok thanks

Answer 28

You can get it from someone more experienced. I am in 9th yet I am not even 13

Answer 29

Ill be in physics

Answer 30

O ok! thanks for the help!
