Work Step by Step

The author here asks for drawing 3 sketches: a) The interaction diagram. b) The system. [The system here is the mountain climber plus the rope plus the bag of supplies, as you see in the figure below.] c) The force diagram. You can see all of these sketches below. The wire has a mass which means that it will not be perfectly parallel to the inclined since it will have a curve toward the Earth due to its weight. You can imagine a metal chain to have the full image.
