Problem

65\,\text{kg}

skier is towed up a straight

15^{\circ}

incline at constant speed by a rope parallel to the slope. The coefficient of kinetic friction between skis and snow is

0.10

. If the tow motor provides a steady power of

3.0\,\text{kW}

to the skier, determine the maximum speed at which the skier can be pulled.
