A contestant in a winter games event pushes a 36.0 kg block of ice across a frozen lake as shown in the figure below. The coefficient of static friction is 0.1 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.03. (Assume e = 22°.) (a) Calculate the minimum force F (in N) he must exert to get the block moving. (b) What is its acceleration (in m/s?) once it starts to move, if that force is maintained? m/s2
