You are pulling your luggage in an air port for an international flight. You know not to pack too much else they charge you extra fees so you weighted your luggage at home to be 22.8 kg. You exert a pull of 51 N in magnitude and at 21 degrees above the horizontal to ensure you can walk at a constant speed on the carpeted floor. The coefficient of friction between the caster wheels and the carpet is 0.30. What is the acceleration of your luggage (could be positive or negative)?
