|| It's a snowy day and you're pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. You've both
been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient of friction between the sled
and the snow is. You've been walking at a steady 1.5 m/s, and the rope pulls up on the
sled at a 30° angle. You estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 60 kg
and that you're pulling with a force of 75 N. What answer will you give?
F.
3.
A student pulls with two large forces (F. and F,) in order to lift a 1-kg book by two cables. If the
cables make a 1-degree angle with the horizontal, then what is each of the tension corresponding
to F, and F, on the cable?
O 9.8 N
O 281 N
