Two children pull a third child on a snow saucer sled exerting forces F1 and F2 as shown above in the figure. Find the acceleration a and direction θ of the 42-kg sled and child system. Note that the direction of the frictional force f is unspecified; it will be in the opposite direction of the sum of F1 and F2
