Question

Determine the skier's speed when he reaches point B on the smooth slope.

Also, what is the normal force on the skier's skis at BB?

What is the skier's rate of increase in speed at BB?

When the 150-lb skier is at point A he has a speed of
5 ft/s. When the skier reaches point B on the smooth
slope, the slope follows the cosine curve shown in
ㅠ
(Figure 1). Suppose that y(x) = 45 cos
(1002)
Neglect friction and air resistance.
