.A 50.0 kg boy sits on a 40.0 kg sled which is resting on the ice of a pond (zero coefficient of friction between sled and ice). The coefficient of static friction between the boy and the sled is 0.30. Another boy pushes the sled with a horizontal force. Take the value of the acceleration due to gravity as g=9.8 m/s². Calculate the maximum force that can be applied without causing the boy to slide off the end of sled:
