A person, sunbathing on a warm day, is lying horizontally on the deck of a boat. Her mass is 59 kg, and the coefficient of static friction between the deck and her is 0.70. Assume that the person is moving horizontally, and that the static frictional force is the only force acting on her in this direction. What is the magnitude of the static frictional force when the boat moves with a constant velocity of +8.0 m/s?

A

94N

B

370 N

C
