Explanation Given info: The mass of the skier glider is 75.0 kg , the coefficient of the friction between ski and snow is 0.200 and the temperature is 0 ° C . The latent heat to melt the ice is 3.33 × 10 5 J / kg . The formula for the normal force of the skier is, n = m skier g Here, m skier is the mass of the skier. g is the acceleration due to gravity. The formula for the frictional force of the skier is, f = μ n = μ m skier g Here, μ is the coefficient of the friction. The formula to calculate the work of the skier is, W = f × d = ( μ m skier g ) d Here, d is the distance where skier glider has to ski to melt the snow. The formula to calculate heat required by the ice to convert into water at constant temperature is, Q snow = m snow L f Here, m snow is the mass of snow. L f is the latent heat required to melt the ice into the water. The conservation of the energy is, W = Q snow ( μ m skier g ) d = m snow L f d = m snow L f ( μ m skier g ) Substitute 1
