The world's highest ski flying hill is Tauplitz/Bad Mitterndorf in Austria. The hill is 197 m high with an incline of 35° to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction, , for waxed skis on dry snow is 0.04. Assume a ski-jumper with a mass of 70 kg makes a run from the top of the hill. Use the work-energy theorem to calculate the speed of the skier at the bottom of the hill.
