The water skier in the figure is at an angle of 35degree with respect to the center line of the boat, and is being pulled at a constant speed of 15m/s .

1)If the tension in the tow rope is 90.0 , how much work does the rope do on the skier in 30.0 ?

2)How much work does the resistive force of water do on the skier in the same time?

i keep getting the answers wrong for 1) i did p=F.V 15*90=1260*30s <-w=pt and the answer to that was wrong

The water skier in the figure is at an angle of 35degree with respect to the center line of the boat, and is being pulled at a constant speed of 15m/s .

1)If the tension in the tow rope is 90.0N, how much work does the rope do on the skier in 30.0s ?

2)How much work does the resistive force of water do on the skier in the same time?
