You're standing at the top of a snow-covered hill, sloped at 20.0°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between your sled and the hill is 0.534. Unfortunately, there's a running stream just at the bottom of the hill, and you don't want to get wet. If you and your sled together have a mass of 87.0 kg, with what speed should you push off with to stop just before the stream, 77.0 m down the slope?

- A desperate hiker has to think fast to help his friend who has fallen below him. Quickly, he ties a rope to a rock of mass ma and makes his way over the ledge (see the figure). If the coefficient of maximum static friction between the rock and the ground is µ, and the mass of the hiker is mâ, what is the maximum mass of the friend, mc, that the rock can hold so the hikers can then make their way up over the ledge?

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.

Not being too clever, they stack up 500 kg of furniture, tie a rope between the safe and the furniture, and place the rope over a pulley. Then they push the safe out of the window. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the furniture and the floor is 0.5.
