The contestant now pulls the block of ice with a rope over his shoulder at the same angle above the horizontal as shown below. The coefficient of friction of ice can be found in Table 6.1. Calculate the minimum force Fhe must exert to get the block moving. (b) What is its acceleration once it starts to move, if that force is maintained? | 25°
