A penguin of mass, m, is on an inclined surface (hill), as shown in the diagram. The inclined surface is at an angle of 0 from the flat ground. The coefficient of static friction, µs = 0.498 and the coefficient of kinetic friction, µ = 0.295. Also assume there is a force from gravity (i.e. the weight, W = mg, is pointed straight down towards the ground, as always). a) Draw a free body diagram for the penguin, with the coordinate system rotated so that the x-axis is parallel to inclined plane (see Lecture 18, slide 5 for an example). You must draw the coordinate system like we do in class. Label all forces. Note: in this coordinate system, the weight is not aligned with x or y, so make sure you also draw and label the components of the weight vector. Write the components of weight in terms of m, g, and 0.

(Enter your answer to at least three decimal places.) 0.220 X Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error.

ents Once I went skiing. I was at the bottom of a snow ramp with a speed of 14.0 m/s. Assuming that the coefficient of friction between the snow and the skis was 0.2 determine my speed at the top of the ramp. The angle theta with the horizontal was 25°. The rise of the snow ramp was h=3.5 meters high. h Skier Met < Previous OL 1
