The height of a typical playground slide is about 1.8 m and it rises at an angle of 30 ∘ above the horizontal. Part A

Some children like to slide down while sitting on a sheet of wax paper. This makes the friction force exerted by the slide very small. If a child starts from rest and we take the friction force to be zero, what is the speed of the child when he reaches the bottom of the slide? Part B

If the child doesn't use the wax paper, his speed at the bottom is half the value calculated in part A. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the child and the slide when wax paper isn't used?

Part C

A child wearing a different sort of clothing than the first child climbs the ladder to the top of the slide, sits on the slide, lets go of the handrail, and remains at rest. What is the minimum possible value for the coefficient of static friction between this child and the surface of the slide?
