Coefficient of kinetic friction between sledge and snow

Reference no: EM13648787

A sledge (including load) weighs 1400 lb. It is pulled on level snow by a dog team exerting a horizontal force on it. The coefficient of kinetic friction between sledge and snow is .05. How much work (in ft lb) is done by the dog team pulling the sledge 3000 ft at constant speed?
