Question

A paraglider of mass 90 kg is pulled by a rope attached to a speedboat. With the rope making an angle of 20 degrees, to the horizontal the paragilder is moving in a straight line parellel to the surface of the water with an acceleration of 1.2ms^-2. The tension in the rope is 250N. Calculate the magnitude of the vertical lift force acting on the glider.

Answer 2

is it wrong?

Answer 3

No it wasnt

Answer 4

hw do i solve that?

Answer 5

isnt the vertical lift force= weight of the paraglider

Answer 6

900N?

Answer 7

I guess yes

Answer 8

but the answer i 985, with the vertical component of tension?

Answer 9

I think its 900-85.5=814.5

Answer 10

but the answer is 985>
