Toboggan 5710

The length of the toboggan run is 60 m, and the height is 8 m. The boy pulls a sled weighing 15 kg. How hard does the boy pull the sled uphill?

Correct answer:

F =  20 N

Step-by-step explanation:

s=60 m h=8 m m=15 kg g=10 kg/m/s2 A=π180°arcsin(h/s)=π180°arcsin(8/60)7.6623  G=m g=15 10=150 N  F = G sin( A) F=G h/s=150 8/60=20 N
