Chapter 5, Problem 45PQ
One great form of athletic competition for bulldogs, American pit bull terriers, huskies, and many other breeds is the weight pull. Many of these dogs can pull weights two orders of magnitude greater than their own weight! Railsplitter, an American pit bull terrier, can pull a sled that has a total weight of 2215 lb along a horizontal surface. Suppose he pulls with a horizontal force of 3.50 × 103 N while friction is also working against the sled. If the magnitude of the net acceleration of the sled is 0.152 m/s2, find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction, μk, between the sled and the pulling surface. (The sled is normally on a set of rails.)

If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and rough surface is 0.357 and he exerts a constant horizontal force of 277 N on the crate, find the magnitude and direction of the net force on the crate while it is on the rough surface.
