A chain attached to an object with a mass of 68.0 kg is propelled by a motor to move it up an inclined surface. At a speed of 1.5 m/s, the object covers a distance of 90.0 m on the surface. A 30.0° angle separates the horizontal from the surface. Assume there is no friction. For how long does it take to pull the thing up the incline? (a) If a motor is to be used, how much horsepower (hp) should it have?
