Chapter 4, Problem 46P
Iditarod race practice The dogs of four-time Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race champion Jeff King pull two 100-kg sleds that are connected by a rope. The sleds move on an icy surface. The dogs exert a 240-N force on the rope attached to the front sled. Find the acceleration of the sleds and the force the rope between the sleds exerts on each sled. The front rope pulls horizontally.
