Find what is the minimum rope tension required

Reference no: EM13708467

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. Assuming both ropes pull equally hard,
