Gliders are launched from the ground by means of a winch

Reference no: EM13672145

Some gliders are launched from the ground by means of a winch, which quickly reels in a towing cable attached to the glider. What average power must the winch supply in order to accelerate a 195-kg ultra light glider from rest to 28.4 m/s over a horizontal distance of 52.0 m? Suppose that friction and air resistance are negligible, and that the tension in the winch cable is constant.
