Question:

A skier is pulled by a towrope up a frictionless ski slope that makes an angle of 12o with the horizontal. The rope moves parallel to the slope with a constant speed of 1.0 m/s. The force of the rope does 900 J of work on the skier as the skier moves a distance of 8.0 m up the incline.
(a) If the rope moved with a constant speed of 2.0m/s, how much work would the force of the rope do on the skier as the skier moved a distance of 8.0 m up the incline? At what rate is the force of the rope doing work on the skier when the rope moves with a speed of
(b) 1.0 m/s and
(c) 2.0 m/s
