Question

Water skiers often ride to one side of the center line of a boat, as shown in the figure(Figure 1) . In this case, the ski boat is traveling at 15 m/s and the tension in the rope is 80N If the boat does 3600J of work on the skier in 50.6m , what is the angle ? between the tow rope and the center line of the boat?

Explanation / Answer

theta = cos^-1(3600/(80*50.6)) = 27.21 degree
