A 1250-kg slippery hippo slides down a mud-covered hill inclined at an angle of 18º to the
horizontal. If the coefficient of sliding friction between the hippo and the mud is 0.0900, what
force of friction impedes the hippo’s motion down the hill?

Verified answer
F = mu * N
N = mg * cos(18)
N = 1250 kg * 9.81 * cos(18)
N = 11662 N
F = 0.0900 * 11662
F = 1149.61 N
