Slanted Surfaces with Friction: in the Figure, a T-Bar Ski

question 15

Multiple Choice

Slanted surfaces with friction: In the figure, a T-bar ski tow pulls a skier up a hill inclined at 10° above horizontal.

The mass of the skier is 60 kg and the effective coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the snow is 0.100. What is the maximum tension in the cable if the starting acceleration is not to exceed 0.400 g?

• A) 246 N
• B) 366 N
• C) 431 N
