Coefficient of kinetic friction between the skiers skis

Reference no: EM13646838

A T-bar tow is planned in a new ski area. At any one time, it will be required, to pull a maximum of 73skiers up a 598-m slope inclined 15°at above the horizontal at a speed of 2.50 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the skiers skis and the snow is typically0.057. As the manager of the facility,what motor power should you request of the construction contractorif the mass of the average skier is 71.0kg. Assume you want to be ready for any emergency and will order amotor whose power rating is 50 percent larger than the bareminimum.
