Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Force and Motion–I: Problem 38

A 40 kg skier skis directly down a frictionless slope angled at \( 10^\circ \) to the horizontal. Assume the skier moves in the negative direction of an x axis along the slope. A wind force with component \( F_x \) acts on the skier. What is \( F_x \) if the magnitude of the skier's velocity is (a) constant, (b) increasing at a rate of \( 1.0 \text{ m/s}^2 \), and (c) increasing at a rate of \( 2.0 \text{ m/s}^2 \)?
