I have to tow a 65Ton train up a 30 degree incline using a winch, what size winch is required?
Typical mechanics/dynamics problem, but its been too long since Ive done these calculations. Please help me work this out because 130tons does not feel like the right answer.
Assume a near frictionless surface.

draw a free body diagram of load, you will find winch force= weight * sin of incline
32.5 ton is the answer
