4. A man of mass 55 kg takes a ride on a irregularly curved water slide of height

2.00 m as shown in fig. He starts from rest at the top.
1. Determine the velocity of the man at the bottom, assuming no friction is
present.
2. If a friction force acts on the man, and he arrives at the bottom of the slide
with a speed Vf = 3.00 m/s. By how much does the mechanical energy of the system
decrease due to this force?
