Question
A horse is harnessed to a sled having a mass of 236 kg, including
supplies. The horse must exert a force exceeding 1 240
N at an angle of 35.0° in order to get the sled moving. Treat
the sled as a point particle. (a) Calculate the normal force on
the sled when the magnitude of the applied force is 1 240 N.
(b) Find the coefficient of static friction between the sled and
the ground beneath it. (c) Find the static friction force when
the horse is exerting a force of 6.20 x 102 N on the sled at the
same angle.
