  2. You find yourself in the middle of a frozen lake with a surface so slippery μs=μk=0 you cannot walk. However, you happen to have several rocks in your pocket. The ice is extremely hard. It cannot be chipped, and the rocks slip on it just as much as your feet do. Can you think of a way to get to shore?Use pictures, forces, and Newton's laws to explain your reasoning.
