Answer:
Part a)

Part b)

Explanation:
Part a)
If block is sliding up then net force must be zero and friction will be in opposite to the direction of motion of the block


so we have





Part b)
If block is sliding down then net force must be zero and friction will be in opposite to the direction of motion of the block


so we have





Normal force, friction force, gravitational force
Answer: 170.67 N
Explanation:
Given
Mass of skier is 
Height of the inclination is 
Here, the potential energy of the skier is converted into kinetic energy which is consumed by the friction force by applying a constant force that does work to stop the skier.
![\Rightarrow mgh=F\cdot x\quad \quad [\text{F=constant friction force}]\\\\\Rightarrow 82.9\times 9.8\times 20=F\cdot 95.2\\\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{16,248.4}{95.2}\\\\\Rightarrow F=170.67\ N](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%20mgh%3DF%5Ccdot%20x%5Cquad%20%5Cquad%20%5B%5Ctext%7BF%3Dconstant%20friction%20force%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%2082.9%5Ctimes%209.8%5Ctimes%2020%3DF%5Ccdot%2095.2%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20F%3D%5Cdfrac%7B16%2C248.4%7D%7B95.2%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20F%3D170.67%5C%20N)
Thus, the horizontal friction force is 170.67 N.
