1. Imagine a skier sliding down a hill. Draw a simplified "stick figure" type sketch of the situation, and a free-body (force) diagram of
the skier by hand. Assume for now that there is no friction between the skis and the hill.
Use a ruler! Make sure that your axes and force vectors are straight lines and draw your force vectors proportional to their
magnitudes. You can take a picture of your force diagram with your phone and upload it using the image upload tool on the menu
above your answer box.
1. the normal force on an object by a surface is always perpendicular to the surface.
2. the force of gravity is always directly downward.
Hint:
3. use the particle model to represent the skier as a "dot"
4. Label your coordinate axes and the forces
5. Use the parallelogram rule to show the net force acting on the skier. Which way does it point? Is that where it should
point? If not adjust the lengths of the force vectors so that their sum points in the direction of the acceleration!
1. A box 35Kg sits at rest on a ramp with angle 29deg with horizontal direction,
the friction force on box is 200N. Draw free body diagram.
2. For ramp problem, usually people take the direction along ramp as x-axis,
direction perpendicular to ramp as y-direction. But this time, you take horizontal direction
from left to right as positive x axis, from bottom to top as positive y direction. find x-and y-
components of normal force?
3. find x-and y-components of friction force
