A sled is being pulled on a frictionless icy surface, by a rope that is angled 45 degrees above the horizontal. The tension of the rope is 100 N. The sled is 50 kg. On top of the sled sits your pack of supplies, which has a mass of 20 kg. What is the coefficient of static friction that keeps your pack on the sled as it travels? Give your answer with three significant figures.

Two blocks, labeled A and B, are connected by a massless string that runs over a massless and frictionless pulley. Block A is sliding up along an inclined plane with ordinary surface friction. The string from block A runs over the pulley and then to block B which hangs straight down. At the start of the experiment, block A is sliding up the plane and block B is moving downward, both at a speed of v0 = 1.5 m/s. Block A has a mass of 3.3 kg. Block B has a mass of 1.4 kg. The plane is inclined at an angle of 27 degrees above horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the plane is 0.36 (no units). Assume that the only significant forces on the blocks are normal forces, tensions forces, friction from the inclined plane, and gravity (with g = 9.81 m/s2 ). From the start of the experiment, when block A is sliding up the plane at a speed of 1.5 m/s, how far (in units of meters) does block A slide before coming to a stop? Just one more "show your work" after this one. You will need to submit your solution for this question.

A heavy sled is being pulled by two people, as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the sled and the ground is μs = 0.579, and the kinetic friction coefficient is μk = 0.435. The combined mass of the sled and its load is m = 381 kg. The ropes are separated by an angle ϕ = 28.0∘, and they make an angle θ = 30.1∘ with the horizontal. Assuming both ropes pull equally hard, what is the minimum rope tension Tmin required to get the sled moving? Tmin = f this rope tension is maintained after the sled starts moving, what is the sled's acceleration a? a =
