to the rear of a truck...? I've decided that I needed help on this question because I can't seem to find a good example in my book to help me out.
A 1200kg car is being towed up an 18 degree incline by means of a rope attached to the rear of a truck. The rope makes an angle of 27 degrees with the incline. What is the greatest distance that the car can be towed in the first 7.5s starting from rest if the rope has a breaking strength of 4600N. Ignore resistive forces.
I know the answer is 11m but I haven't been able to work my way there yet. Any explanation or work that you guys can show me would be great!
