Problem 2.44 PDF

This problem involves calculating the deceleration of an ice skater given information about the skater's speed, the geometry of the skates, and coefficients of friction. The governing equations relate the shear stress at the skate-ice interface to the coefficient of friction and velocity. Assumptions are made about laminar flow. Values are substituted into the equations of motion to relate the shear force to acceleration. The calculation results in a deceleration of -0.495 ft/s^2 for the skater.
