What is the minimum rope tension required to get the sled

Reference no: EM13702174

Problem: A heavy sled is being pulled by two people as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the sled and the ground is Î¼s = 0.603, and the kinetic friction coefficient is Î¼k = 0.395. The combined mass of the sled and its load is m = 351 kg. The ropes are separated by an angle = 27°, and they make an angle = 31.1° with the horizontal.

Part A: Assuming both ropes pull equally hard, what is the minimum rope tension required to get the sled moving?

Please show work or how to obtain this answer thank you.
