Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

There are different conditions for the coefficient of friction with respect to different surfaces.

(A) So for the sliding on the dirt road, the coefficient of friction is 1 and in that case:

The number of men required is:

→nA=1537 .................answer

(B) For the sliding on wet wood, the coefficient of friction is 0.23.

So in this case the number of men required is:

→nB=354 .................answer
