Question

A contestant in a winter sporting event pushes an mm kg block of ice across a frozen lake by applying a force FF at an angle θθ below the horizontal as shown. Assume that the coefficient of static friction for ice on ice is 0.0300, and the coefficient of kinetic friction for the same is 0.0100. Let to the right be the positive x direction and up be the positive y direction for your equations.
