The AcmeTM Corporation - Anvil Division has devised a new method for testing their product. They fire off a bright, shiny, new anvil from the top of a long, complex, but surprisingly frictionless water slide (the friction switch has been flipped to the 'off' position). They then measure the magnitude of the anvil's velocity at the very bottom of the slide before it reaches the Designated Anvil Catcher (more about that some other time). Currently, the slide is only used to test 1500-kg anvils and the initial velocity of the anvil at the release point is always 9.25 m/s. (a) If the average magnitude of anvil velocity at the bottom of the slide is found to be 72.1 m/s, what is the height of the relcase point relative to the bottom of the slide? (b) When the friction switch is flipped to the 'on' position, the average magnitude of anvil velocity at the bottom of the slide is found to be 62.9 m/s. How much work can be attributed to friction forces?
