Question

Three ice skaters, numbered 1, 2, and 3, stand in a line, each with her hands on the shoulders of the skater in front. Skater 3, at the rear, pushes forward on skater 2. Assume the ice is frictionless. Part A Draw a freebody diagram for skater 2, in the middle. Draw the vectors starting at the black dot. The location and orientation of the vectors will be graded. The length of the vectors will not be graded.

Step 1

Step 1:** Identify the forces acting on skater 2 in the middle: - Gravitational force (mg) acting downwards - Normal force by the ice acting upwards - Pushing force by skater 1 - Normal force by skater 1 - Pushing force by skater 3 ** Show more…

Three ice skaters, numbered 2 and standing in line, each with her hands on the shoulders of the skater in front. Skater 3 is at the rear and pushes forward on skater. Assume the ice is frictionless. Part A Draw a free body diagram for the skater in the middle. Draw the vectors starting at the black dot. The location and orientation of the vectors will be graded. The length of the vectors will not be graded.
