A skier of mass 72 kg is pulled up a slope by a motor-driven cable. a. how much work is required to pull him 75 m up a 30 degree slope (assumed frictionless) at a constant speed of 3.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given the mass of skier m=72 kg

distance traveled d=75 m

constant speed v=3.4 m/s

If speed is constant  then there must no force acting in the direction of motion

i.e. tension force must be equal to the component of weight
