Homework Statement
Water skiers often ride to one side of the center line of a boat, as shown in the figure (Figure 1) . In this case, the ski boat is traveling at 15 m/s and the tension in the rope is 90 N.If the boat does 3700 N of work on the skier in 54.8 m, what is the angle θ between the tow rope and the center line of the boat?

work=force x Δdistance
The Attempt at a Solution
I feel all over the place with this one. I don't know where to start. All i know is that I will be getting the angle of cosine since movement is in the horizontal direction.
