(i) The figure below, from oPhysics, shows a block being dragged across a rough surface by a
tension force T. The figure includes a free-body diagram. The red T, = T cos 0 and T, = T sin 0

(II) During a Chicago storm, winds can whip horizontally
at speeds of 100 km/h. If the air strikes a person at the
rate of 40 kg/s per square meter and is brought to rest,
estimate the force of the wind on a person. Assume
the person is 1.50 m high and 0.50 m wide. Compare to the
typical maximum force of friction (µ z 1.0) between the
person and the ground, if the person has a mass of 70 kg.
