Question

You are taking advantage of an early snow to go sledding. After a long afternoon of going up and down hills with your sled, you decide it is time to go home. You are thankful that you can pull your sled without climbing any more hills. As you are walking home, dragging the sled behind you by a rope fastened to the front of the sled, you wonder what the coefficient of friction of the snow on the sled is. You estimate that you are pulling on the rope with a 10 Newton force, that the sled weighs 5 kg, and that the rope makes an angle of 25 degrees to the level ground.

Answer 1
