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 Hg = 0.643, and the kinetic friction coefficient is µy = 0.403. The combined mass of the sled and its load is m = 276 kg. The ropes are separated by an angle o = 23.0°, and they make an angle 0 = 32.7° with the horizontal. Assuming both ropes pull equally hard, what is the minimum rope tension required to get the sled moving? minimum rope tension: If this rope tension is maintained after the sled starts moving, what is the sled's acceleration? acceleration: m/s2

A young woman buys an inexpensive used car for stock car racing. It can attain highway speed with an acceleration of 8.40 mi/h s. By making changes to its engine, she can increase the net horizontal force on the car by 24.0%. With much less expense, she can remove material from the body of the car to decrease its mass by 24.0%. (a) Which of these two changes, if either, will result in the greater increase in the cars acceleration? (b) If she makes both changes, what acceleration can she attain?

A block of mass 3m is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface, and a second block of mass m is placed on top of the first block. The surfaces of the blocks are rough.
