a)Joe pushes down the length of the handle of a 12.8 kg lawn spreader. The handle makes an angle of 47.6◦ with the horizontal. Joe wishes to accelerate the spreader from rest to 1.32 m/s in 1.6 s. What force must Joe apply to the handle?
b)Two forces are the only forces acting on a 2.7 kg object which moves with an acceleration of 4.1 m/s2 in the positive y-direction. One of the forces acts in the positive x-direction and has a magnitude of 9.5 N. What is the magnitude of the other force f2?

|| It's a snowy day and you're pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. You've both
been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient of friction between the sled
and the snow is. You've been walking at a steady 1.5 m/s, and the rope pulls up on the
sled at a 30° angle. You estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 60 kg
and that you're pulling with a force of 75 N. What answer will you give?
