Answer:
W = 506.75 N
Explanation:
tension = 2300 N
Rider is towed at a constant speed means there no net force acting on the rider.
hence taking all the horizontal force and vertical force in consideration.
net horizontal force:
F cos 30° - T cos 19° = 0
F cos 30° = 2300 × cos 19°
F = 2511.12 N
net vertical force:
F sin 30° - T sin 19°- W = 0
W = F sin 30° - T sin 19°
W = 2511.12 sin 30° - 2300 sin 19°
W = 506.75 N
