Water-Skier Forces: Analyzing Tension, Drag, and Lift

A water-skier with weight Fg = mg moves to the right with acceleration a. A horizontal tension force T is exerted on the skier by the rope, and a horizontal drag force Fa is exerted by the water on the ski. The water also exerts a vertical lift force L on the skier. Which of the following are correct relationships between the forces exerted on the skier-ski system? Select two answers. A. T- F_d= ma B. L-F_g= ma C.L-F_g=0 D.T- F_d=0

A. T- F_d= ma and D. T- F_d=0 are the correct relationships.
