A T-bar tow is planned in a new ski area. At any one time, it will be required, to pull a maximum of 80 skiers up a 600-m slope inclined at 15° above the horizontal at a speed of 2.50 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the skiers skis and the snow is typically 0.060. As the manager of the facility, what motor power should you request of the construction contractor if the mass of the average skier is 75.0 kg. Assume you want to be ready for any emergency and will order a motor whose power rating is 50 percent larger than the bare minimum.
