In the sport of parasailing, a person is attached to a rope being pulled by a boat while hanging from a parachute-like sail. A rider is towed at a constant speed by a rope that is at an angle of 15° from horizontal. The tension in the rope is 2300 N. The force of the sail on the rider is 30° from horizontal. What is the weight of the rider?
