6. A person pulls a toboggan for a distance of 35.0 m along the snow with a rope directed 25.0° above the snow. The tension in the rope is 94.0 N. (a) How much work is done on the toboggan by the tension force? (b) How much work is done if the same tension is directed parallel to the snow?

Step 1
In this case, the force is the tension in the rope (94.0 N), the distance is 35.0 m, and the angle is 25.0 degrees. Plugging these values into the formula gives: W = (94.0 N)(35.0 m)cos(25.0°) = 3010.6 J So, the work done on the toboggan by the tension force is Show more…

A person pulls a toboggan for a distance of $35.0 \mathrm{~m}$ along the snow with a rope directed $25.0^{\circ}$ above the snow. The tension in the rope is force? (b) How much work is done if the same tension is directed parallel to the snow?
Suppose the ski patrol lowers a rescue sled and victim, having a total mass of 90.0 kg, down a $60.0^{\circ}$ slope at constant speed, as shown in Figure 7.37. The coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is 0.100. (a) How much work is done by friction as the sled moves 30.0 m along the hill? (b) How much work is done by the rope on the sled in this distance? (c) What is the work done by the gravitational force on the sled? (d) What is the total work done?
