Cryptozoologists rejoice! The remains of an abominable snowman are found on the side of a snowy mountain. In order to recover the remains, excavation equipment must be sent up the mountainside. This is done by strapping the equipment to a sled (the combination of which has a weight of 980 N), then towing the sled up the 13.2° snowy incline at a constant rate of 1.92 m/s by a taut rope. Although the runners of the sled are smooth, friction is still present; the coefficient of kinetic friction between the runners and the snow is 0.111. Assuming the rope is kept parallel to the incline as the equipment is raised up the slope, what is the tension (in newtons) in it?
