In the winter activity of tubing, riders slide down snow covered slopes while sitting on large inflated rubber tubes. To get to the top of the slope, a rider and his tube, with a total mass of 80 kg , are pulled at a constant speed by a tow rope that maintains a constant tension of 370 N . How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 30-m-high, 120-m-long slope?
Given is:-
Total mass m = 80 kg
Tension in the rope T = 370 N
Height h = 30 m
length l = 120 m
Now,
The change in the potential energy will be
which gives u s
Now,
the work done by the tow rope is
or
which gives us
Therefore the thermal energy created in the slope is given by
thus
which gives us
This is the required thermal energy created in the slope during ascent

To get to the top of a snow-covered hill while sitting on a large inflated rubber tube, the rider and his tube, with total mass 80 kg, are pulled at a constant speed by a tow rope. Assuming that friction is negligible, how much energy is required by the tow machine to get the rider to the top of a 30-m high hill?
