Then for Example 5.1 in that section, change the angle of the ski slope from 25 degrees to 30 degrees; also, change the skier's mass from “62 kg" to "Z kg" where Z is the number computed on the first page of this study guide. Then write the answer to the question in the space below. For your answer, remember to please write down your calculations and explain your reasoning.
