The ski slopes at Bluebird Mountain make use of tow ropes to transport snowboarders and skiers to the summit of the hill. One of the tow ropes is powered by a 20-kW motor which pulls skiers along an icy incline of 19.0Ëš at a constant speed. Suppose that 21 skiers with an average mass of 68.4 kg hold onto the rope and suppose that the motor operates at full power. Determine the force required to pull this amount of weight up a 19.0Ëš incline at a constant speed.
