In the position shown, aerodynamic forces hold the 600-g kite in equilibrium without the need for additional tension in the string attachment at B beyond the amount developed by the weight of the string itself. If 120 m of kite string have been unreeled, and the string is horizontal at A, determine the altitude h of the kite and the vertical lift and horizontal drag forces which act on the kite. The kite string has a mass of 5 g per meter of length. Neglect aerodynamic drag on the kite string.
