The engine of a motorboat delivers 30.0 kW to the propeller while the boat is moving at 15.0m/s. What would be the tension in the towline if the boat were being towed at the same speed?

I know to use P=Fv and solve for F so P = 3000kN right because 1 kW = 1000 Watts... and v= 15.0 m/s
so i took 3000 kN / 15.0 m/s and got 200 N is this correct?

all correct

awesome!

Wrong; it's 30000 W / 15 m/s.
