A58 kg skier is going down a 35 degree slope. the areaof each
ski in contact with the snow is 0.3 m^2. determinethe pressure that
each ski exerts on the snow.

To solve this problem we will use a free body diagram that allows us to determine the Normal Force.

In general, the normal force would be equivalent to

Since the skier is standing on two skis, his weight will be divide by two

Pressure is given as the force applied in a given area, that is

Replacing F with N'

Our values are given as,

Replacing we have that

Therefore the pressure exerted by each ski on the snow is 776.01Pa

layers of the earth affect the waves and these effects are seen on instruiments such as seimometers
