Problem 6-11 Dynamics with friction - Part 5 - B
A child is sliding down a water slide inclined at \(25^\circ\) to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the child and the slide is \(0.10\). What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the child? (Hint: \(F_N\) is not equal to \(mg\).)
Accumulated Solution
\(f = \sum F_N = 0.888\;m\)
No. You have taken the \(y\)-component of \(mg\).
