Answer:
a) Frope= 71.7 N
b) Frope=6.7 N
Explanation:
In the figure the skier is simulated as an object, "a box".
a) At constant velocity we can say that the object is in equilibrium, so we apply the Newton's first law:
∑F=0
Frope=w*sen6.8°
Frope=71.71N
Take into account that w is the weight that is calculated as mass per gravitiy constant:
w=m*g
b) In this case the system has an acceleration of 0.109m/s2. Then, we apply Newton's second law of motion:
F=m*a
F=61.8Kg*0.109m/s2
Frope=6.73N
