A child sleds down a snowy hillside starting from rest. The hill has a 15 degree slope, with a long stretch of level field at the foot. The child starts 50 ft up the slope and continues for 100 ft on the level field before coming to a complete stop. Find the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow, assuming that it is constant throughout the ride. Neglect air resistance.
