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 = 0.619, and the kinetic friction coefficient is = 0.435. The combined mass of the sled and its load is m = 351 kg. The ropes are separated by an angle = 25.0, and they make an angle = 31.8 with the horizontal. Assuming both ropes pull equally hard, what is the minimum rope tension required to get the sled moving? minimum rope tension: 0 If this rope tension is maintained after the sled starts moving, what is the sled's acceleration? acceleration: N m/s
