Matt Ashell, world famous downhill skier, waxed his skis with the wrong kind of wax and ended up with a relatively high coefficient of friction of 0.40. If Matt, who weights 667.5 N is on a downhill slope of 38 degrees, will he slide without a push?

A person applies an 80-N pulling force 25 degrees counterclockwise with respect to the right horizontal to a 100-N box. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the floor is 0.85. Will the box slide?

, what effect on Flim was produced by a) changing the nature of the surfaces, b) changing the normal force, and c) changing the area of contact between the surfaces? Be sure to cite specific results that support your responses to parts a-c.
