The correct answer is option (3).
The horizontal component of the force pushing the skier in forward direction is 36.75 N or 37 N.
In Physics, force is defined as the effect that changes the direction of motion of an object or brings a moving object to halt.
In other words, a force is a pull or push which is applied to any object. It is a vector quantity and is measured in Newton (N).
The weight of the skier = 75 Kg
To find the horizontal component of force we will use the following information.
Frictional force due to ice, F = μN
Normal force N = mg = 75 x 9.8 = 735 N
Now let's calculate the Frictional force = 0.05 x 735 = 36.75 N
We know that the value of Coefficient of friction (μ) for ice is 0.05.
