A boat of weight 580OON is winched steadily up a slipway inclined at 35° to the horizontal. The winching cable is parallel to the slipway and the coefficient of friction between the boat and the slipway is 0.36. Calculate the following: a) The component of the boat's weight which acts parallel to the slipway: b) The component of the boat's weight which acts normal to the slipway; c) The friction force acting on the boat; d) The force in the winching cable; e) The power required to winch the boat at a velocity is 0.54 m/s.
