Question: The parasailing system shown uses a winch to pull the rider in toward the boat, which is traveling with a constant velocity. During the interval

The parasailing system shown uses a winch to pull the rider in toward the boat, which is traveling with a constant velocity. During the interval when is between 20 and 40(where t=0 at =20), the angle increases at the constant rate of 2s. During this time, the length of the rope is defined by the relationship r=125-(13)t32, where r and t are expressed in meters and seconds, respectively. At the instant when the rope makes a 30 angle with the water, the tension in the rope is 18 kN . At this instant, what is the magnitude and direction of the force of the parasail on the 82kg parasailor? Also what is the direction of the force?
