Amy is in a tuck and skiing straight down a 30∘ slope. Air resistance pushes backward on her with a force of 10 N. The coefficient of dynamic friction between her skis and the snow is 0.08, and the coefficient of static friction is 0.10 . Amy's mass is 50 kg. What is the component of her weight that is pushing Amy along (parallel to) the slope? What is the magnitude of the normal reaction force exerted by the snow on her skis? What is the magnitude of the frictional force between the skis and the snow? What is her acceleration along the slope? (assume that going down is positive)

A skier is standing motionless on a horizontal patch of snow. She is holding onto a horizontal tow rope, which is about to pull her forward (see Figure below). The skier's mass is 59 kg, and the coefficient of static friction between the skis and snow is 0.14 . (a) Draw the free-body diagram of the skier (b) What is the magnitude of the maximum force that the tow rope can apply to the skier without causing her to move?

Learning Goal: Static and Kinetic Friction Short Calclations A 25.0 kg wooden crate rests on a wood floor. The coefficient of static friction between the wood crate and the wood floor is μs = 0.53. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the wood crate and the wood floor is 0.44. You pull on the rope attached to the crate. The magnitude of the gravitational acceleration is 9.80 m/s2. Part A - What maximum force (in Newtons) can you exert horizontally on the crate without moving it? Part B - If you pull on the crate with a 38.96 N horizontal force, what is the magnitude of the frictional force? Part C - Now you increase the pulling force gradually to the value in Part A, the crate will start moving. Notice that the type of frictional force will change and the magnitude will also change. After the crate starts moving, your pulfing force remains at the value in Part A. What will be the crate's acceleration? As shown in the same crate from the above parts rests on the same wooden floor. A 100 N force presses on the crate from above. Part D - What is the magnitude of the normal force on the crate by the floor? Part E - What is the minimum horizontal pulling force (in Newtons) to make the crate start moving?
