Assume that the tow bar pulls each skier a distance of 200m along the snow and in the process raises them by a vertical distance of 50m. The tow rope pulls each skier along at a constant velocity. A child skier has a mass of 30kg and an adult skier has a mass of 100kg. Assume for now that ski conditions are perfect and the snow is frictionless.

How much work does the tow rope do on a child skier dragging them to the top of the run?

What is the magnitude of the force exerted by the tow rope on the child​​​​​​​?

    In the figure, a T-bar ski tow pulls a skier up a hill inclined at 10.º above horizontal. The skier starts from rest and is pulled by a cable that exerts a tension T at an angle of 30.º above the surface of the hill. The mass of the skier is 60. ke and the effective coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the snow is 0.10. 30 (a) Draw the free-body diagram for the skier. (4 pts) 400...
