Problem 5-102 Friction force - Part 3 - C
A skier of mass \(79\; kg\) is sliding at constant velocity down a slope inclined at \(8.3^\circ\) to the horizontal. Determine the magnitudes of:
(a) the normal force exerted on the skier.
(b) the frictional force exerted on the skier.
Accumulated Solution
FBD
No. The skier moves at constant velocity \((x)\), and remains in the plane \((x, y)\). There is no acceleration in this problem.
