Consider a skier heading down a 11 slope. Assume the coefficient of friction for waxed wood on wet snow is k = 0.10 and use a coordinate system in which down the slope is positive.

a. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the skier in m/s2

b. Find the angle, in degrees, of the slope on which this skier could move down the slope at constant velocity
