How do the skiers speeds compare at the bottom of the hill

Reference no: EM13549866

Two skiers, one of mass m and the other 2m, start at the top of a mountain. The more daring skier (2m) takes the double black diamond trail to arrive at the bottom more quickly, while the other skier meanders back and forth on a green beginner trail. Assuming the total frictional losses for each skier are equal on the way down, how do the skier's speeds compare at the bottom of the hill.
