Question

A horse draws a sled horizontally on snow at constant speed. The horse can produce a power of 1.095 hp. The coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is 0.115, and the mass of the sled, including the load, is 187.6 kg. What is the speed with which the sled moves across the snow?

conver 1.095hp to watts (j/s)

then power= force*velcity
=mu*mass*velocity
solve for velocity.
bobpursley
oops, that should be mass*g*velocity.
