Expert Solution
Step 1

The forces that act on the cart are 

1. The frictional force 

2. The two components of force when the cart is push at angle 35°, so it is Fcos35 and Fsin35.

3. The normal force that act perpendicular to the cart's surface, N. 

(a) The free body diagram for the cart

In the figure, f is the frictional force, N is the normal force, W is the weight of the cart. 

The force F has two components
