A65 n boy sits on a sled weighing 52 n on a horizontal surface. the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is 0.012. what is the magnitude of the frictional force?

1.40 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the frictional force is given by:

where

is the coefficient of friction

N is the magnitude of the normal reaction

The coefficient of friction for this problem is . The magnitude of the normal reaction is equal to the combined weight of the boy and the sled, because the surface is horizontal, so

Therefore, the frictional force is
