Question

Will the 79 kg skier in the figure below slide down if f the coefficient of static friction is 0.25?

Answer 1

Man will not slide down

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Coefficient of static friction = 0.25

Angle = 13°

Computation:

Man will slide down if

tan13° > Coefficient of static friction

Tan 13 = 0.23

So,

0.23 < 0.25

So,

Man will not slide down
