Question: The motor ( M ) pulls in its attached rope with an acceleration ( a _ { p } = 7

The motor \( M \) pulls in its attached rope with an acceleration \( a_{p}=7\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}^{2}\). The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the plane is \(\mu_{k}=0.2\). Neglect the mass of the pulleys and rope. (Figure 1)
Determine the towing force exerted by \( M \) on the rope in order to move the \(70-\mathrm{kg}\) crate up the inclined plane.
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
