|| 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?

- a) A delivery truck with two stacked crates in the back brakes quickly. The crate on the bottom just barely stays put on the floor of the truck. Does the top crate stay put or does it fall off? The top crate has a mass of 27.0 kg and the mass of the bottom crate is 22.0 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the bottom crate and the truck is 0.420, and the coefficient of kinetic friction for that surface is 0.350.
