Question 1 [10]
Consider a skier moving down a slope of 30o as shown below. The weigh of the skier is 150 N. The Normal reaction force makes
an angle of 90o with the slope surface. The friction force is parallel with the slope surface. Determine the magnitude of each of
the forces acting on the skier, if the skier is in equilibrium.
