Physics Girl pulls Einswine in a straight horizontal path northwards through the snow in a sled. The rope unfortunately snapped off the sled, so Physics Girl and Einswine are both holding opposite ends of the rope as shown in the picture below. Einswine does not slip. What are the forces acting on the sled when they are moving at constant velocity? Ignore air resistance.
