If the ice cube slides downward from rest at the top of the bowl, at what angle θ does it separate from the bowl? In other words, at what angle does the normal force between the ice cube and the bowl go to zero?

In the figure a 57 kg rock climber is in a lie-back climb along a fissure, with hands pulling on one side of the fissure and feet pressed against the opposite side. The fissure has width w = 0.15 m, and the center of mass of the climber is a horizontal distance d = 0.30 m from the fissure. The coefficient of static friction between hands and rock is μ1 = 0.35, and between boots and rock it is μ2 = 1.30. The climber adjusts the vertical distance h between hands and feet until the (identical) pull by the hands and push by the feet is the least that keeps him from slipping down the fissure. (He is on the verge of sliding.)

Throughout the process, the hemisphere is maintained in place.(1) (a) Assume that the bead is still in touch with the hemisphere when it is angled away from the vertical, as illustrated in the right picture. At that point, what is the speed of the bead? Describe your solution in terms of v0, R, and g.(b) If you want to be more formal When the bead reaches a height of h, it will leave the surface.
