Compute all parts of given question:

Question: 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 µs = 0.627, and the kinetic friction coefficient is µk = 0.467. The combined mass of the sled and its load is m = 321 kg. The ropes are separated by an angle is 24°, and they make an angle is 32.1° with the horizontal.

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

Part B: If this rope tension is maintained after the sled starts moving, what is the sled\'s acceleration?

Please provide a full detailed explanation for above question.
