An electric aircraft is towing a glider along a straight horizontal flight path at a constant speed.
A constant tension of T T\,T newtons acts in the horizontal tow-line connecting the aircraft to the glider. The aircraft's propulsion system provides a constant forward thrust of 3200 N. The constant air resistance acting on the glider is 1150 N.
Determine the value of TTT, justifying your answer from the physical state of the system.
State one assumption you have made about the tow-line.
Find the magnitude of the air resistance acting on the aircraft.
