Answer to Question #72739 in Physics for Eric Jones

Question

To celebrate summer break some non physics many students decide to make a waterslide. These non-physics students decide to put one end of the slide on 820 m high roof at Mooney and the other end in the teachers parking lot heading out to Erie Street The slide ends 5 m before the street and makes an angle of 26.5°. The physics students however are worried that students will slide into the street and incoming traffic. You determine the waterslide friction will be negligible but the pavement will have a coefficient of friction with clothes of .90. How far will the students slide on the pavement
