Answer:

The coefficient of friction of the sled is 0.115

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the sled, m = 46.6 kg

Frictional force acting on it, F = 52.9 N

We need to find the coefficient of friction. Frictional force is given by :


F=\mu mg


\mu=(F)/(mg)


\mu=(52.9\ N)/(46.6\ kg* 9.8\ m/s^2)


\mu = 0.115

So, the coefficient of friction of the sled is 0.115. Hence, this is the required solution.
