Homework Statement A skier of mass M is skiing down a frictionless hill that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. The skier starts from rest at time t = 0 and is subject to a velocity-dependent drag force due to air resistance of the form F = -bv, where v is the velocity of the skier and b...

Hello all, I have been checking out practice exams for mechanics. One problem described a skier of mass m sliding down a frictionless hill that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. The skier experiences a velocity dependent drag force as a result of air resistance defined by the equation...
