A skier of mass 71 kg is pulled up a slope by a motor-driven cable.
(a) How much work is required to pull him a distance of 55 m up a 30° slope at a constant speed of 1.1 m/s
My whole problem with this question is that I'm not sure if I need to include ∑Fx and ∑Fy (where ∑Fx = mgsinӨ=ma and ∑Fy= n-mgcosӨ) in order to find F. This is where I'm getting stuck to solve for W
W=FcosӨ Δr
I just need help in getting started with this problem because I keep getting stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
