You are pulling a child through the snow on a sled by pulling on a rope that makes a 35°35° angle with the horizontal. The mass of the child and sled together is 20 kg. There is a 50 N force of friction opposing the motion. What is the tension in the rope when you pull the child and sled at a constant 3.0⁢m/s?

Tim got a huge birthday gift from his grandmother. A 400. N crate has been delivered to his driveway. In order to get it started moving toward his door, he has to push it with a horizontal force of 250 N, but as soon as it is moving, he can keep it moving at a constant speed by pushing with a 120 N force. What are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction of Tim's birthday gift and the driveway?
Kevin works as a janitor, and he is pushing a fully-loaded recycling bin that weighs 557 N across the floor. He applies a force of 410 N at an angle of 15° below the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the recycling bin and the floor is 0.46. How long does it take him to move the bin 6.5 meters, assuming the bin starts from rest? 1.98 s 3.77 s 1.02 s 2.85 s
A 1.0 N block is pushed against the ceiling by a 3.5 N force at a 60° angle as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the ceiling is 0.9. If the block is in equilibrium, what is the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the block. 60° 3.50 N O 1.75 N O 2.73 N O 3.63 N 0.9 N
A car with a mass of 1500 kg is being towed by a rope held at a 20° angle to the horizontal. A friction force of 320 N opposes the car’s motion. What is the tension in the rope if the car goes from rest to 12 m/s in 10 s?
A boy is pulling a sled behind him by applying a constant force V = 48 Newtons at an angle at 35 degrees above the horizontal. The sled has a mass of 23 kg. The average velocity of the sled does not change as he is pulling it due to the sled's friction with the ground. What is the coefficient of friction between the sled and the ground?
A car with a mass of 1500 kg is being towed by a rope held at a 20°angle. A friction force of 320 N opposes the car's motion. What is the tension in the rope if the car goes from rest to 12 m/s in 10s? 1700 N 2300 N 1000 N 800 N 1200 N

The suspended 2.41 kg mass on the right is moving up , the 2.1 kg mass slides down the ramp and is on an inclined 34 degrees from the horizontal, and the suspended 7.8 kg mass on the left is moving down. There is friction between the block and the ramp, the coefficient of static friction is 0.17. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. The pulleys are massless and frictionless. What is the acceleration of the three block system?
Mary applies a force of 70 N to push a box with an acceleration of 0.60 m/s2. When she increases the pushing force to 82 N, the box's acceleration changes to 0.80 m/s2.

Sammy is doing a strength testing session on the turf in preparation for the upcoming basketball season. Sammy's mass is 55 kg and she is trying to push a 105 kg sled across the artificial turf outside on Raymond Field. The coefficient of static friction between the sled and the turf is 0.3. If Sammy pushes only horizontally against the sled, how much force must she push with to just initiate movement of the sled?
