A skier is pulled by a towrope up a frictionless ski slope that makes an angle of 12 with the horizontal. The rope moves parallel to the slope with a constant speed of 1.0 m/s. The force of the rope does 900 J of work on the skier as the skier moves a distance of 8.0 m up the incline. (a) If the rope moved with a constant speed of 2.0 m/s, how much work would the force of the rope do on the skier as the skier moved a distance of 8.0 m up the incline?

What average mechanical power (in W) must a 60.0 kg mountain climber generate to climb to the summit of a hill of height 365 m in 49.0 min? Note: Due to inefficiencies in converting chemical energy to mechanical energy, the amount calculated here is only a fraction of the power that must be produced by the climber's body. HINT
