Vinnie and Ella decided to let dad (75kg) ride the sled (5kg). Vinnie pulled the rope with 45N at an angle of 24 degrees above the horizontal and Ella pushed from behind with 60N downward at 43 degrees below the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow was still 0.08. What was the normal force acting on the sled? What was the acceleration of the loaded sled?
