The height of a typical playground slide is about 1.8 m and it rises at an angle of 30 ∘ above the horizontal.
Part A
Some children like to slide down while sitting on a sheet of wax paper. This makes the friction force exerted by the slide very small. If a child starts from rest and we take the friction force to be zero, what is the speed of the child when he reaches the bottom of the slide? Part B
If the child doesn't use the wax paper, his speed at the bottom is half the value calculated in part A. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the child and the slide when wax paper isn't used?
Part C
A child wearing a different sort of clothing than the first child climbs the ladder to the top of the slide, sits on the slide, lets go of the handrail, and remains at rest. What is the minimum possible value for the coefficient of static friction between this child and the surface of the slide?

Suppose water is leaking from a tank through a circular hole of area ah at its bottom. when water leaks through a hole, friction and contraction of the stream near the hole reduce the volume of water leaving the tank per second to cah 2gh , where c (0 < c < 1) is an empirical constant. a tank in the form of a right-circular cone standing on end, vertex down, is leaking water through a circular hole in its bottom. (assume the removed apex of the cone is of negligible height and volume.) (a) suppose the tank is 20 feet high and has radius 8 feet and the circular hole has radius 2 inches. the differential equation governing the height h in feet of water leaking from a tank after t seconds is dh dt = − 5 6h3/2 . if the height of the water is initially 8 feet, how long will it take the tank to empty? (round your answer to two decimal places.)
