Question:

The string on a helium balloon is attached inside a car at rest, as shown in Figure 9.22 (a). If the car accelerates forward, does the balloon tilt forward or backward? If \(a\) is the car's acceleration and \(g\) is the gravitational field, what is the balloon's tilt angle from the vertical when it comes to equilibrium?
