Two penguins, Wheezy and Mumble, are racing down an icy slope into the water below.  Wheezy has a mass of 22 kg. Mumble has a mass of 25 kg.  The slope is angled at eight degrees to the horizontal.  They both start from the same position at the same time, and slide down the icy slope entirely due to gravity alone.  There is a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.12 between the penguins and the ice. Who wins the race and what is the winner's acceleration when they reach the finish line
