A heavy sled is being pulled by two people, as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the sled and he ground is
\mu _(s)=0.603, and the kinetic friction coefficient is
\mu _(k)=0.467. The combined mass of the sled and its load is
m=351kg. The ropes are separated by an angle
\phi =24.0\deg , and they make an angle
\theta =31.1\deg with the horizontal. Assuming both ropes pull equally hard, what is the minimum rope tension
T_(min)required to get the sled moving?
T_(min)=◻_(Incorrect Answer )N
◻If this rope tension is maintained after the sled starts moving, what is the sled's acceleration
a?
a=◻(m)/(s^(2))Correct Answer
