Q1. A sailboat is running along a straight course with the wind providing a constant force of 55 lb. The only other force acting on the boat is resistance as the boat moves through the water. The resisting force is numerically equal to five times the boat's speed, and an initial velocity is 1 ft/s. What is the maximum velocity in feet per second of the boat under this wind?

Q2. A 56 kg skier is going down a slope oriented 33° above the horizontal. The area of each ski in contact with the snow is 0.13 m2. Establish the pressure that each ski exerts on the snow.
