A team of dogs drags a 81.2 kg sled 3.12 km over a horizontal surface at a constant speed.The coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is 0.172.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2
Find the work done by the dogs.
Answer in units of kJ.
Answered by Henry
Ws = M*g = 81.2 * 9.8 = 796 N. = Wt. of
sled = Normal force, Fn.

Fk = u*Fn = 0.172 * 796 = 137 N. = Force of kinetic friction.

Fap-Fk = M*a.
Fap-137 = M*0 = 0.
Fap = 137 N. = Force applied.

Work = Fap*d = 137 * 3.12 = 427 J. = 0.427 kJ.
