The tension in the wire at time t = 2.0 s is 240 N. Calculate: 1. the horizontal component of the tension force acting on the skier horizontal component of force = N 2. the total resistive force R acting on the skier in the horizontal direction. R = N The skier is now lifted upwards by a gust of wind. For a few seconds the skier moves horizontally through the air with the wire at an angle of 45° to the horizontal, as shown in . 45° horizontal (not to scale) By considering the vertical components of the forces acting on the skier, determine the new tension in the wire when the skier is moving horizontally through the air. tension = N
