I think I got it, correct me if I'm wrong... I would lay flat on the ice surface and slide over to him to rescue or something... because to minimize the normal force acting on the surface, equalizing the pressure. The word 'normal force' was what you're wanting me to refer to right?

...pressure: is the magnitude of the normal force per unit surface area, (mg/v), where m/v = p(roh)g and Pressure difference involving depth being = pgd

hmm I do know the definition of pressure... but man the ice... is the answer a lot simpler than what I'm thinking through?... I mean haha the only reason why I think he fell through the ice is because his weight is greater and the buoyant force couldn't hold him up or something, or that he was...

Hey guys my first homework question I'll be asking here... as simple as it may sound this question is kinda stupid and pissed me off so here goes... Your friend has fallen through the ice and you decide to attempt a rescue. Having just come from a physics class on pressure, how will you do...

Stella Artois ftw... I'm new as hell btw and btw, why can't I see the option for having avatar/signatures?
