Linc, the 65kg lifeguard, slides down a water slide that is inclined at an angle of 35 degrees to the horizontal, into the community swimming pool. If the coefficient of friction of the slide is 0.050, what is Linc's rate of acceleration as he slides down?
-Draw the free body diagram for this problem, be sure to include: weight(which you need to solve for), normal force, the resultant that his movement will follow, the angle of the slide, friction, and any other important information. BE SURE TO LABEL YOUR ARROWS! You do NOT need to solve for Linc's acceleration.
