Another Problem
A watch is tied to a string on an airplane. As the airplane takes off the string makes an angle of 25* to the vertical. The accleration takes about 18s. What is the accleration of the plane.
I drew a free body diagram, but I am confused as to how I would solve this without knowing the mass of the watch or the tension of the string.
