Let's practice calculating the frictional force of a skier on old "woody" skis and wet snow. The skier has a mass of 58 kg. The

coefficient of kinetic friction of wood skis on wet snow is 0.1 Notice there are no units for the coefficient of friction. What is the kinetic frictional force between the wood skis and the snow

Answer:

Kinetic frictional force will be equal to 56.84 N

Explanation:

We have given mass of the skier m = 58 kg

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

Coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu _k=0.1$

We have to find the kinetic frictional force

Kinetic frictional force is given by

$F_K=\mu _Kmg=0.1\times 58\times 9.8=56.84N$

So kinetic frictional force will be equal to 56.84 N
