Question
**Question 2**

To give a 22-kg child a ride, two teenagers pull on a 3.5-kg sled with ropes, as indicated in the figure (Figure 1). Both teenagers pull with a force of 55 N at an angle of 35° relative to the forward direction, which is the direction of motion. In addition, the snow exerts a retarding force on the sled that points opposite to the direction of motion, and has a magnitude of 57 N. You may want to review [Pages 134 - 136].

**Part A**

Find the acceleration of the sled and child. 

Express your answer using two significant figures.

**Figure**

The figure illustrates two teenagers pulling a sled. Each teenager pulls with a force of 55 N at an angle of 35° to the forward direction. A retarding force of 57 N acts against the sled's motion.
