Homework Statement
A sled is pulled at a constant velocity across a hrizontal snow surface. If a force of 8.0 x 10^1 N is being applied to the sled rope at an angle of 53 degrees to the ground, what is the magnitude of the force of friction of the snow acting on the sled?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I made a right triangle with one angle being 53 degrees and the hypotenus as 80 N.
80sin(53)= 63.9 ; horizontal axis
80cos(53)= 48.14 ; vertical axis
