Suppose a sled passenger with total mass 51 kg is pushed 26 m across the snow (μk = 0.20) at constant velocity by a force directed 37° below the horizontal. (a) Calculate the work of the applied force (in J).

(a)

Calculate the work of the applied force (in J).

(b)

Calculate the work of friction (in J).

(c)

Calculate the total work (in J).

I have the answers for this problem from a key, the answers are 3060, -3060, and 0 for a, b, and c respectively.

I have no clue how to get those answers.

A dog in a weight-pulling competition tugs a 50-kg sled a distance of 5 m across a snowy track. The dog pulls horizontally with a force of 350 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.05. (Draw yourself a free-body diagram on the sled). The next four questions have to do with this scenario. Determine the work done by the dog. I got the correct work (1750J) Add up the y-components, ΣFy, and determine...
