To give a 22-kg child a ride, two teenagers pull on a 3.5- kg sled with ropes, as indicated in the figure (Figure 1). Both teenagers pull with a force of 55 N at an angle of 35° relative to the forward direction, which is the direction of motion. In addition, the snow exerts a retarding force on the sled that points opposite to the direction of motion, and has a magnitude of 57 N. You may want to review (Pages 134 - 136) .

The diagram below is a top-down view of two children pulling a 13.2-kg sled along the snow. The first child exerts a force of |F¡| = 12.0 N at an angle 0, = 45.0° counterclockwise from the positive x direction. The second child exerts a force of F2| = 6.00 N at an angle 02 = 30.0° clockwise from the positive x direction.

When a 60 kg skier first starts to be pulled up the ski hill by an old school T-bar, she undergoes a constant acceleration of 1.8 m/s2 during the first few seconds of the pull. The applied force from the T-bar is directed 40 degrees above a line that is parallel to the surface of the hill The incline of the hill is 19 degrees above the horizon, as can be seen by alpha in the figure below.
