Homework Statement


A blimp of mass 110 kg is pulled at an angle of 52 degrees downwards with respect to the horizontal for D=7 km on level ground at a constant velocity v=14 m/s. If the coefficient of drag (K in F=Kv^2) is 0.5 kg/m, how much work is done by the person pulling?


Homework Equations


F=w*d
F=Ky^2


The Attempt at a Solution


I don't even know where to begin! So confused.
