### Problem Statement

In a winter sporting event, a contestant tries to push a 45.0-kg block of ice across a frozen lake. The force he exerts on the ice block is 51.5 N at an angle 25° below the horizontal. Assume the coefficient of static friction is \( \mu_s = 0.1 \) and the coefficient of kinetic friction is \( \mu_k = 0.03 \).

1. **Will the contestant be able to move the ice block?** Show your complete work.
2. **If he can move the block, determine the acceleration of the ice block once it starts to move.**

### Diagram

The diagram shows a person pushing a block of ice. The angle of the applied force \( F \) is shown as 25° below the horizontal line of action.

### Solution Steps

1. **Determine if the block can be moved:**
   - Calculate the horizontal component of the force \( F \).
   - Calculate the maximum static friction force using \( \mu_s \).

2. **Calculate acceleration if the block moves:**
   - Use the net force to determine the acceleration applying Newton's second law.
