NEED HELP ASAP
Chapter 6, Team Problem 1 WORKSHEET SOLUTION [T1][Easy, Team, Worksheet] A Runaway Sled You and your team are on the top of an icy slope that has a steep grade (i.e., angle of ascent) of 24.0o, and need to pull up a heavy sled loaded with supplies. You fasten a pulley into the ice at the top of the slope through which you thread a 150.0ft rope (which is just long enough to reach the sled) and tie it to the sled. The rope has a strict tension rating of 450.0 lbs and a warning sticker on one end claims that it will break if this limit is exceeded by just 10.0 lbs . Lined up like a tug-o-war team, you and six others in your group steadily pull on the rope with a nearly constant force, resulting in a constant rate of ascent. However, after exactly 45.0 s of pulling, the rope suddenly snaps, and the sled and its crucial supplies plummet down the hill and disappear into a snowbank. You measure the length of rope pulled through the pulley before it failed to be 85.0 ft .(a) Neglecting friction, how fast was the sled going when it reached the bottom of the slope? (b) For the next attempt to pull the sled up the slope, you get a stronger rope and want to use a motor-driven winch (it was tiring work by hand). What should be the minimum power rating of the motor (in horsepower) in order that the winch pulls the sled at the same rate as vour team had been pulling it by hand? (Note: 1 horsepower =745.7 watts).
[1] What is the approximate tension in the rope when it breaks?
[2] Draw the free-body diagram of the forces acting on the sled as it is being pulled up the slope at a constant rate.
[3] What is the total work done by the team just before the rope breaks?
[4] What is the mass of the sled?
[5] What is the speed of the sled at the bottom of the hill?
[6] What is the power output of the team (in watts) while they are pulling the sled up the slope?
[7] What should be the minimum power rating of the motor (in horsepower) in order that a
