Problem 5. Hauling a boat.
You have a new 1000 lb boat that you are going to need to pull out of the water across a (slippery)
File Preview e by hooking a winch to it. The shore is sloping up at an angle of 20 degrees. You need
to figure out if you can pull it up with a hand winch, and if so, what kind should you buy. You
have the choice between a 4 inch diameter winch or a more expensive 8 inch diameter winch. Both
have 1 ft long handles.
