4.6 Exercise 12

Avg difficulty 2.5

Two children pull a third child on a snow saucer sled exerting forces F 1 \textbf{F}_{1} and F 2 \textbf{F}_{2} as shown from above in the figure. Find the acceleration of the 49.00-kg sled and child system. Note that the direction of the frictional force is unspecified; it will be in the opposite direction of the sum of F 1 \textbf{F}_{1} and F 2 \textbf{F}_{2}.
