Question

A couple of hotel workers are trying to get a new couch into a suite. They soon realized that it wasn't going to fit through the main entrance, so they took it to the balcony of the room below. One of these guys pulled it straight upwards with 300N of force. The other guy has pressed the couch against a wall with an upwards force at an angle of 35o with
respect to the horizontal, as seen in the diagram. That pushing force has a total magnitude of 350 N.
If the couch weighs 36 kilograms, and it is sliding up the wall with an acceleration of 1.5 m/s2, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the couch and the wall?
