To give a 11−Kg child a ride, two teenagers pull on a 3.7−Kg sled with ropes, as indicated in the figure below. Both teenagers pull with a force of 55 N at an angle of 35∘ relative to the forward direction, which is the direction of motion. In addition, the snow exerts a retarding force on the sled that points opposite to the direction of motion and has a magnitude of 57 N. Calculate the acceleration of the sled and child.
