A Zamboni has broken down and is being pulled across the ice (consider it frictionless) by City of Toronto workers. The workers pull the Zamboni with a rope which makes an angle of 10.0° with the horizontal. The force of tension in the rope due to the pull of the two workers is 47.9 N. If the repair bay is 40.0 m away will the workers be able to make it if they expend 2.00 x 103 J of work? Full justification and explanation is required.

A Zamboni has broken down and is being pulled across the ice (consider it
frictionless) by City of Toronto workers. The workers pull the Zamboni with a rope
which makes an angle of 10.0° with the horizontal. The force of tension in the rope
due to the pull of the two workers is 47.9 N. If the repair bay is 40.0 m away will the
workers be able to make it if they expend 2.00 x 103 J of work? Full justification and
explanation is required.
