Homework Statement
A boat is hauling a 250kg skier at an angle of 30 degrees below the horizontal with a force of 200 N. How much is the boat accelerating?
Homework Equations
F=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
I am using the F=ma equation. My only question is how does the 30 degrees play into it? Would it be :
200N= 250kg(cos30) * a? with this I get .03m/s. Which seems somewhat accurate since 200N isn't much force at all. Any ideas?
