A sled plus passenger with total mass m = 53.1 kg is pulled a distance d = 25.3 m across a horizontal, snow-packed surface for which the coefficient of kinetic friction with the sled is k = 0.155. The pulling force is constant and makes an angle of = 28.3 degrees above horizontal. The sled moves at constant velocity.Required:a. Write an expression for the work done by the pulling force in terms of m, g (acceleration due to gravity), , k, and d.b. What is the work done by the pulling force, in joules?c. Write an expression for the work done on the sled by friction in terms of m, g (acceleration due to gravity), , k, and d.d. What is the work done on the sled by friction, in joules?
