Chapter 7, Problem 63P(choose chapter or problem)
A skier starts at the top of a very large, frictionless snowball, with a very small initial speed, and skis straight down the side (Fig. P7.63). At what point does she lose contact with the snowball and fly off at a tangent? That is, at the instant she loses contact with the snowball, what angle \(\alpha\) does a radial line from the center of the snowball to the skier make with the vertical?
