### Physics Problem: Sled Pulling and Friction**Scenario:**A heavy sled is being pulled by two people, as depicted in the figure. The coefficients of friction between the sled and the ground are as follows:- Static friction coefficient (\(\mu_s\)) = 0.603- Kinetic friction coefficient (\(\mu_k\)) = 0.419The combined mass of the sled and its load (\(m\)) = 336 kg.The ropes used for pulling are separated by an angle (\(\phi\)) = 22.0°, and make an angle (\(\theta\)) = 31.1° with the horizontal.**Questions:**1. **Minimum Rope Tension**: Assuming both ropes pull equally hard, what is the minimum tension required in each rope to initiate the sled's movement? - **Answer Box**: [ ] N2. **Sled's Acceleration**: If the previously calculated rope tension is maintained once the sled starts moving, what will be the sled's acceleration? - **Answer Box**: [ ] m/s²**Graphical Explanation:**The figure shows two individuals pulling a sled using ropes. The angles \(\phi\) and \(\theta\) are clearly marked, which indicate the angles with respect to each limb and to the horizontal plane.The primary objective is to calculate:- The tension required to overcome static friction and initiate movement.- The resulting acceleration when the sled transitions to kinetic friction conditions.These calculations will incorporate physics concepts such as force equilibrium, static vs. kinetic friction, and basic kinematics equations.
