(13%) Problem 8: A contestant in a winter sporting event pushes a 46 kg block of ice in the positive direction across a frozen lake as shown in the figure. Assume the coefficients of static and kinetic friction are -0.1 and -0.03. Randomized Variables m=46 kg 25 F Otheex 50% Part (a) Calculate the minimum force F he must exert to get the block sliding across the ice in newtons. Fmin Grade Su Deduction Datantial 50% Part (b) What is its acceleration in m/s once it starts to move, if that minimum force is maintained?
