Maya is using some rope to pull a sled up a snow-covered
hill. Friction between the sled and the hill is negligible.
The vertical distance between the bottom and the top of
the hill is h=17m. The hill makes a constant angle
of =24 above the horizontal, and the rope makes a
constant angle of =37 above the horizontal. Maya
maintains a constant tension of T=130N in the rope as
she pulls the sled all the way from the bottom to the top
of the hill. How much work W did Maya do on the sled?
(Note: do not assume that the sled is motionless when it
reaches the top of the hill.) The symbolic answer should
be stated in terms of h,,,T, and g, though not all of
these quantities may be needed.
