A team of dogs pulls a sled across the snow. The weight of the loaded sled is 2,200 N. The coefficient of friction is 0.15. How hard must the dogs pull so that their effort just equals the frictional force?

Answer:

330 N

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the frictional force, you just have to use the next formula:


Friction=W*Coefficient

Now you just have to insert the values into the formula:


Friction=W*Coefficient


Friction=2,200N*0.15


Friction=330 N

So the friction force is 330 N, from the weight and the coefficient of friction with the ground, so the dogs only have to pull with a combined force of 330 N.
