A skier weighing a mass m starts from rest down a hill inclined at a certain degree theta. He skis down the hill with a distance d and then coasts for a certain distance s along level snow until he stops. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the snow. Construct a free-diagram. Incorrect free-diagram will commensurate to incorrect answer. Solve this problem explicitly (i.e. step by step). *
