If the skier is moving up along (i.e. parallel to) the hill with a constant speed of 2 m/s, use one of Newton’s Laws in a direction perpendicular to the hill to write an equation relating the normal force acting on the skier to the skier’s mass. Be sure to include values for any known quantities.

Answer:

[tex]\Sigma F_{y'} = N - m\cdot g \cdot \cos \theta = 0[/tex]

Explanation:

The equation of equilibrium is:

[tex]\Sigma F_{y'} = N - m\cdot g \cdot \cos \theta = 0[/tex]

Where:

[tex]N[/tex] - Normal force, in newtons.

[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the skier, in kilograms.

[tex]g[/tex] - Gravitational constant, in meter per squared second.

[tex]\theta[/tex] - Angle of the hill, in degrees.
