Question

In this problem, take the x,y plane to be parallel to the ground. A person on skis is being pulled by their two dogs, Fluffy and Elmo, through a flat, snowy field. You may assume the dog's leashes are parallel to the ground. Fluffy pulls with a force of 345 N along the x axis, and Elmo pulls with a force of 460.0N at an angle of 65 degrees measured clockwise from Fluffy's leash. If the person moves at a constant velocity, find the magnitude and direction of the friction force acting on them. ( Give the direction as measured counterclockwise from +x axis.)

Explanation / Answer

In this question, two forces are working heare we we balance the forces

so if we will see in the direction of x axis there is two forces are working one is 345 N and other one is 460 cos650. and also in the opposite of these two force is friction force F.

first we solve in the direction of so,

345 + 460cos650 = F

F = 539.4 N
