Question
A 41.1 kg sled coasts down a hill, starting from rest. The hill is inclined at an angle of 25.9 degrees with respect to the horizontal and has a height of 10.8 m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled's blades and the hill is ??μs = 0.13. What is the work done on the sled (in Joules) by the gravitational (or weight) force as the sled coasts from the top of the hill to the ground? Use g = 9.81 m/s2.
