Hello all!
I was curious how to figure out which motor to use to help pull a sled up an inclined surface of about 55 degrees. It would be pulled on snow and has a weight of about 300lbs. Would it make a difference if the motor was on the sled vs pulling from the top of the hill? How do you figure out the required power and torque for this? I haven't done physics in forever and would love any help that could be provided.
Thanks
