A person whose weight is 516 N is being pulled up vertically by a rope from the bottom of a cave that is 30.5 m deep. The maximum tension that the rope can withstand without breaking is 593 N. What is the shortest time, starting from rest, in which the person can be brought out of the cave?
A skier slides down a hill in a straight line. The hill is 60m high and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the snow and the skis is 0.1. The hill is at an angle of 10 degrees with the horizontal. The mass of the skier is 70 kg. If the skier starts her run from rest and air friction can be ignored, how fast is she moving at the bottom of the hill? Please answer in units of m/s.
