A car is towed up the 40 degree inclined flat bed of a tow truck. The winch on the tow truck must exert 12,500 Newtons for the car to move at a constant velocity of 0.1 m/s up the ramp. If the car is in neutral (assume friction is negligible), what is the mass of the car? What is the normal force provided by the flat bed of the tow truck?
