Concept explainers
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 θ is between 20° and 40° (where t = 0 at θ = 20°), the angle increases at the constant rate of 2°/s. During this time, the length of the rope is defined by the relationship
