## Educational Exercise

Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. An Eskimo returning from a successful fishing trip pulls a sled loaded with salmon. The total mass of the sled and salmon is 50.0 kg, and the Eskimo exerts a force on the sled by pulling on the rope. Suppose the coefficient of kinetic friction between the loaded sled and snow is 0.200.

**(a)** The Eskimo pulls the sled 4.00 m, exerting a force of 1.25 x \(10^2\) N at an angle of \(\theta = 0^\circ\). Find the work done on the sled by friction, and the net work.

* \(W_{\text{fric}} =\) [__________] J
* \(W_{\text{net}} =\) [__________] J

**(b)** Repeat the calculation if the applied force is exerted at an angle of \(\theta = 30.0^\circ\) with the horizontal.

* \(W_{\text{fric}} =\) [__________] J
* \(W_{\text{net}} =\) [__________] J

## Exercise

**(a)** The Eskimo pushes the same 50.0-kg sled over level ground with a force of 2.50 x \(10^2\) N exerted horizontally, moving it a distance of 7.40 m over new terrain. If the net work done on the sled is 3.00 x \(10^2\) J, find the coefficient of kinetic friction.

* [__________]

**(b)** Repeat the exercise with the same data, finding the coefficient of kinetic friction, but assume the applied force is upwards at a 40.0° angle with the horizontal.

* [__________]

---

### **Hints:**

- **Getting Started:** Consider the components of forces and the angle involved.
- **I’m Stuck!:** Breaking down the forces into horizontal and vertical components may help.
