a mountain climber lies flat on the surface of a glacier (assumed frictionless), which is inclined at 30 degrees to the horizontal. he remains stationary because he is holding on to a rope that is attached to a spoke in the ice further up the slope. THe slope is parallel to the surface of the ice. if the force of the ice on the climber is 210N, what is the tension in the rope

Respuesta :

Answer:

181.87 N

Explanation:

Given that a  mountain climber lies flat on the surface of a glacier (assumed frictionless), which is inclined at 30 degrees to the horizontal. he remains stationary because he is holding on to a rope that is attached to a spoke in the ice further up the slope.

Since the he slope is parallel to the surface of the ice.

if the force of the ice on the climber is 210N, the tension T in the rope will be

T = 210 cos 30

T = 181.86 N

Therefore, the tension in the rope is 181.86 N
