A 65 kg person running at 2.0 m/s jumps onto the skim board at right. The skim board is 50 cm wide and 120 cm long, with an area of 0.60 m². Part A Draw a sketch of this situation. Part B If the person jumps onto the board on sand with a coefficient of friction of f=0.50, what force will resist the forward movement of the board [N]? Recall the friction force is the normal force times the coefficient of friction. Part C Now assume the person jumps onto the board on a 0.50 cm film of fresh water at 30°C. Use Newton's law of viscosity to estimate the force resisting the forward movement of the board.
