Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.21SP
A rope tow is used to pull skiers up a snow-covered slope that is 1000 ft long and has a slope of 17° measured from the horizontal. On a recent good skiing day it was noted that the maximum number of people on the tow never exceeded 38. Calculate the maximum tension in the rope under these conditions. Assume that the total weight of each skier is 175 lb. Assume that the slope is frictionless
