Ohh, thank you for pointing that out...will resend now. An alpine skier—see Fig. 5.12.1—has total mass (including equipment) of m=75.0 kg and is skiing down a smooth slope that makes an angle of θ=30.0° to the horizontal. It is a windy day and a strong wind blows directly up the slope, which results in a force of 50.0 N acting on the skier opposite to his motion. What is the acceleration of the skier down the slope? What is the magnitude of the normal force on the skier due to the snow? *there is no picture or diagram Thanks!
