Find maximum horizontal force that can be exerted on sled

Reference no: EM13539303

A sled weighing 61.0 N is pulled horizontally across snow so that the coefficient of kinetic friction between sled and snow is 0.100. A penguin weighing 67.0 N rides on the sled, as in the figure below. If the coefficient of static friction between penguin and sled is 0.700, find the maximum horizontal force that can be exerted on the sled before the penguin begins to slide off.
