Two children pull a third child on a snow saucer sled exerting forces F1 and F2 as shown above in the figure. Find the acceleration a and direction θ of the 42-kg sled and child system. Note that the direction of the frictional force f is unspecified; it will be in the opposite direction of the sum of F1 and F2. The image above illustrates a scenario where multiple forces act on a person, such as someone pulling on a rope. It includes a top view diagram of a person in a circular arena, along with a corresponding free-body diagram.**Top View Diagram:**- The person is at the center of a circular area.- Two forces are depicted: - \( F_1 = 10 \, \text{N} \): Acts at a 45° angle to the horizontal. - \( F_2 = 8 \, \text{N} \): Acts at a 30° angle to the horizontal.- A frictional force \( f = 7.5 \, \text{N} \) acts to the left, opposing the combined motion of \( F_1 \) and \( F_2 \).**Free-Body Diagram:**- Shows the person as a point (red dot) with vectors representing the forces: - \( F_1 \), directed diagonally up and to the right. - \( F_2 \), directed diagonally down and to the right. - Friction force \( f \), directed to the left, opposing motion. The diagram aims to visualize how these forces interact, providing a basis for calculating resultant motion using vector addition.
