A car accelerates down a hill (Fig. P4.87), going from rest to 30.0 m/s in 6.00 s. During the acceler- ation, a toy (m = 0.100 kg) hangs by a string from the car's ceiling. The acceleration is such that the string remains perpendicular to the ceiling. Determine (a) the angle 0 and (b) the tension in the string. Figure P4.87
