CASE STUDY Hanging a Plane from a Single Point
In the Air and Space Museum, airplanes are usually hung from two or more cables.
a. Is it possible to hang an airplane from a cable attached at a single point such that its wings and fuselage are parallel to the ground as in Figure 14.4A? If so, describe how to do it. If not, why not?
b. Is it possible to hang an airplane from a cable attached at a single point such that its wings are tilted as in Figure 14.4B? If so, describe how to do it. If not, why not?
