# In \(3.0 \, \text{minutes}\), a ski lift raises \(10\) skiers at constant speed to a height of \(85 \, \text{m}\). The ski lift is \(55^\circ\) above the horizontal and the average mass of each skier is \(67.5 \, \text{kg}\). What is the average power provided by the tension in the cable pulling the lift?
