A hunter is pulling his sled 45 kg in mass behind him on snow. He exerts a pull of 170 N in magnitude and at 21 degrees above the horizontal to ensure he could move at a constant acceleration through the snow-covered land. The coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is 0.43. What is the hunter's acceleration (could be positive or negative)?

A mover has to move a heavy sofa of mass 118 kg to the second floor of the house. He uses a rope to pull the sofa up a ramp from the first to the second floor. As he pulls the sofa he makes sure that the rope is parallel to the surface of the ramp which is at 30.0° to the horizontal. If friction between the sofa and the ramp is negligible, and the sofa has an acceleration of 0.700 m/s2, find the tension in the rope (in N). N
Emily is flying off to Paris. Unfortunately, the wheels of her luggage fell off. So, she ties a rope to it and drags it along the floor of the airport terminal. The rope makes a 30.0° angle with the horizontal. The luggage has a mass of 25.0 kg and Emily pulls on the rope with a force of 65.0 N. (a) What is the magnitude of the normal force acting on the luggage due to the floor? (b) If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the luggage and the marble floor is HK = 0.13, find the frictional force acting on the suitcase. CLAIM GATE
A man wants to move a heavy wooden crate (82 kg) across a wooden floor. However, since he is taller than the crate, he must pull it using a rope that makes an angle of 42 degrees with the horizontal. He exerts a force of 312 N as he pulls. What is the Normal Force exerted by the floor on the crate? What is the size of the Friction Force felt by the crate, if the crate moves at a constant speed in a straight line? Imagine that instead the floor is more slick, so that the crate feels a friction force half of what you calculated above. What is the crate’s acceleration?
