In the figure below, a climber leans out against a vertical ice wall that has negligible friction. Distance a is 0.956 m and distance L is 2.00 m. His center of mass is distanced = 0.944 m from the
feet-ground contact point. If he is on the verge of sliding, what is the coefficient of static friction between feet and ground?

There is some friction present; the kinetic coefficient of friction is 6.00x10-2. Since you can't walk up the incline, you give the box a push that gives it an initial velocity; then the box slides up the incline, slowing down under the forces of friction and gravity. Take acceleration due to gravity to be 9.01 m/s². Show Transcribed Text Part A Use the work-energy theorem to calculate the minimum speed u that you must give the box at the bottom of the incline so that it will reach the skier.
