x are the same. Therefore, the equation
is an identity.
37. SKIING A skier of mass m descends a θ-degree hill at a constant speed. When Newton’s laws are applied to the
situation, the following system of equations is produced:
and
, where g is the
acceleration due to gravity,
is the normal force exerted on the skier, and
is the coefficient of friction. Use the
system to define
as a function of θ.
