Question

A skier of mass 65.0 is pulled up a snow-covered slope at constant speed by a tow rope that is parallel to the ground. The ground slopes upward at a constant angle of 26.0 above the horizontal and you can ignore friction. Calculate the tension in the tow rope.

Answer 1

Answer:

 T = 279.24 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of skier = 65 Kg

angle made with horizontal = 26°

tension in the tow rope = ?

tension along horizontal

T = m g  sin θ

T = 65 x 9.8 x sin 26°

 T = 279.24 N

Hence, tension in the tow rope is equal to  T = 279.24 N
