A skier of mass 65.0 kg 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 degrees above the horizontal and you can ignore friction. Calculate the tension in the tow rope

    Answer: T = 279.2N

    Explanation:

    To determine the Tension in the tow rope.

    We need to take the horizontal component of forces.

    Summation of forces on the x axis;

    T-Wsin26 = 0

    T = wsin26

    w = mg = 65kg * 9.8m/s

    w = 637N

    T = 637sin26

    T = 279.2N
