Homework Statement
a skier is pulled up a slope at a constant velocity by a tow bar. The slope is inclined at 30.0° with respect to the horizontal. The force applied to the skier by the tow bar is parallel to the slope. The skier's mass is 53.0 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the snow is 0.190. Find the magnitude of the force that the tow bar exerts on the skier.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
since i know the slope is the acceleration i believe.
couldn't i just solve for acceleration, and maybe get more parts of the picture through trig from vector components?
I'm not sure how to use the friction though.
is there an equation that will help?
