Answer: The 5-kg skateboard rolls down the 5 slope at
Chapter 8, Problem 8-125(choose chapter or problem)
The 5-kg skateboard rolls down the \(5^{\circ}\) slope at constant speed. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the 12.5-mm-diameter axles and the wheels is \(\mu_{\mathrm{k}}\) = 0.3, determine the radius of the wheels. Neglect rolling resistance of the wheels on the surface. The center of mass for the skateboard is at G.
