Homework Statement
1. A childs slide is straight and inclined at 25o to the horizontal. Matthew of mass 35kg goes down the slide at a constant speed.
(a) draw a diagram
(b) find the magintude of normal reaction force between matt and slide.
(c) Find the coefficient of friction between matt and the slide
part (a) and (b) are fine i got 311N for part (b) but couldn't find (c)
Homework Equations
F = MA
F = ,U (mew) x R
The Attempt at a Solution
Resolved it in direction of friction got;
Fr - 35gsin25 = 35a
could not do this as had two unknowns
same with
F = mew x 311 and F = 35a
any help would be greatly appreciated!
