Piles of snow on slippery roofs can become dangerous projectiles as they melt. Consider a chunk of snow at the ridge of a roof with a slope of 34°. (a) What is the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction that will keep the snow from sliding down? (b) As the snow begins to melt, the coefficient of static friction decreases and the snow finally slips. Assuming that the distance from the chunk to the edge of the roof is 4.0 m and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.10, calculate the speed of the snow chunk when it slides off the roof. (c) If the roof edge is 10.0 m above ground, estimate the speed of the snow when it hits the ground.
