Two children pull a third child on a snow saucer sled exerting forces F₁ and F₂ as shown
above in the figure. Find the acceleration a and direction of the 52-kg sled and child system.
Note that the direction of the frictional force f is unspecified; it will be in the opposite direction
of the sum of F₁ and F₂.

1. Friction acts opposite the intended motion of snow saucer.
2. Given F₁ and F2, what direction will the saucer move if initially at rest? In the direction of F₁
? In the direction of F₂? Or in the direction of the resultant of F₁ and F₂?
30°
3. In what direction will friction act? Opposite F₁? Opposite F₂? Or opposite the resultant of F₁
and F₂?
F₂ = 8 N
