Problem 5-102 Friction force - Part 2 - A
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. While there is no "wrong" orthogonal coordinate system this one is awkward since the motion is not in the direction of one of the axes.
