A 58 kg skier is going down a 35 degree slope. The areaof each
1 answer:
To solve this problem we will use a free body diagram that allows us to determine the Normal Force.
In general, the normal force would be equivalent to
Since the skier is standing on two skis, his weight will be divide by two
Pressure is given as the force applied in a given area, that is
Replacing F with N'
Our values are given as,
Replacing we have that
Therefore the pressure exerted by each ski on the snow is 776.01Pa

Answer:
-9.46 N
Explanation:
In order to get the value of the x component of the resultant force, we need to get the value of the x component of each force.
This value will be the projection of the force vector, on the x-axis.
For F₁, as it is directed at an angle of 55.0º above the negative x axis, we can find F₁ₓ just applying the definition of cosine of an angle, as follows:
cos θ =
In this case, x = F₁ₓ, and r = F₁
θ, measured from the positive x axis counterclockwise, is as follows:
θ= 180º-55º = 125º
⇒ F₁ₓ = F₁* cosθ = 9.2 N * cos 125º = -5.28 N
We can repeat the process for F₂, as follows:
For F₂, as it is directed at an angle of 53.3º below the negative x axis, we can find F₂ₓ just applying the definition of cosine of an angle, as follows:
cos θ =
In this case, x = F₂ₓ, and r = F₂
θ, measured from the positive x axis counterclockwise, is as follows:
θ= 180º + 53.3º = 233.3º
⇒ F₂ₓ = F₂* cosθ = 7.00 N * cos 233.3º = -4.18 N
The total component of both forces along the x axis, can be found just adding both components, as follows:
Fₓ = F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ = -5.28 N + -4.18 N = -9.46 N
