CHUTE BOAT A paragliding person who is 70kg is attached to a motorboat and to a parachute by ropes. The motorboat's rope is pulling the person with a tension force and it is at an angle of 45 degrees. The parachute rope is at an angle of 25 degrees with respect to the vertical. If the person is sailing along at constant speed, then what is the tension in the parachute rope (the rope above the person's head)?
