A heavy sled is being pulled by two people, as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the sled and the ground is Ms = 0.635, and the kinetic friction coefficient is My = 0.443 . The combined mass of the sled and its load is m = 261 kg. The ropes are separated by an angle d = 28.0 , and they make an angle 0 = 32.40 with the horizontal. Assuming both ropes pull equally hard, what is the minimum rope tension required to get the sled moving? D minimum rope tension: N If this rope tension is maintained after the sled starts moving, what is the sled's acceleration? acceleration: m/$ 2( 2 TROSTh ) 1050 fic fic = elkmg tic = 0 . 443 x 261 x 9.8 6 fic = 1133 . 10 NJ Equation of motion (2 7costh) coso+ fic = ma 2TEOS ( 2 x 1 6 2 4 . 2 x 1 05 14 ) ( 05 3 2. 4 + 113 3. 10 = ( 251 ) q 26 61 . 2+ 1133. 10 a 2 26 1 C 2 3 794.3 201 ( a = 14.53 m/s2) so, the Accelesalim is 14.53 mls
