Question 17

A sled of weight 50 N is held on a rough hill inclined at an angle of 45∘ 45^\circ\,45∘ to the horizontal. A rope pulls the sled up the hill with a force of 60 N, and the sled is in equilibrium on the point of slipping up the hill.

a.

Find the coefficient of friction between the sled and the hill.

[6]
b.

The 60 N force is removed. Determine whether or not the sled moves.
