free body should show mg downward, of which mgSinTheta is down the slope.
tension=mg*sinTheta In my head, the rope will hold.
A car with a weight of 15 000 N is being towed up a 20o slope at constant
velocity. Friction is negligible. The tow rope is rated at 6 000 N maximum tension.
a. Draw the free body diagram, by cleverly choosing the coordinate system. (5 marks)
b. Calculate the tension in the rope. (5 marks)
c. Assess if the rope provided for towing the car is sufficient. (1 marks)
