Why is it easier to climb a mountain via a zigzag trail rather than to climb straight up?
A 52-kg person riding a bike puts all her weight on each pedal when climbing a hill. The pedals rotate in a circle of radius 17 cm. (a) What is the maximum torque she exerts? (b) How could she exert more torque?

Mammals that depend on being able to run fast have slender lower legs with flesh and muscle concentrated high, close to the body (Fig. 8–33). On the basis of rotational dynamics, explain why this distribution of mass is advantageous.

(II) A ski starts from rest and slides down a 28° incline 85 m long. (a) If the coefficient of friction is 0.090, what is the ski’s speed at the base of the incline? (b) If the snow is level at the foot of the incline and has the same coefficient of friction, how far will the ski travel along the level? Use energy methods.
