Concept explainers
Magnitude and direction of skier’s acceleration.
Answer to Problem 41SSC
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Mass of Skier,
Angle of inclination,
Coefficient of kinetic friction,
Tension of rope,
Formula Used:
From Newton’s second law of motion,
Where,
Calculation:
The free body diagram of water skier is:
As Skier’s motion is upward,therefore, force of kinetic friction
Here,
Now, net force in the direction of motion is,
Here,
So, from Newton’s second law
On putting the values,
The direction is up the incline.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the acceleration of Stacie is
