Problem 7: (13% of Assignment Value)
A contestant in a winter sporting event pulls an m kg block of ice across a frozen lake by
applying a force F at an angle \(\theta\) above the horizontal as shown. Assume that the coefficient of
static friction for ice on ice is 0.0300, and the coefficient of kinetic friction for the same is
0.0100. Let to the right be the positive x direction and up be the positive y direction for your
equations.
Please use the interactive area below to draw a free body diagram to represent the situation where the contestant is pulling, but the block has not yet started to move.
Use $F_s$ for the force of static friction and $F_k$ for the force of kinetic friction if they are needed for your free body diagram.
$F_{total,x}$: - (neg)
$F_{total,y}$: + (pos)
