At the start of a race, a four-man bobsled team pushes their sled as fast as they can along a 50 m flat starting stretch. The net force that the four men together apply to the 325 kg bobsled is 95.271 N directed at 15 degrees below the horizontal. As they push, 60 N of kinetic friction opposes them. What is the speed of the sled right before the team jumps on the sled?

    Shortly after the start of a dogsled race, you find yourself pulling your supplies across the snow (those $#@*&%^*& sled dogs are in BIG trouble). You apply a force of 300 N to a rope that is attached to the front box at an angle of 20 degrees above the horizontal. Mass of the front box M=40Kg, mass of the black box m=30kg, and there is no friction between the boxes and the snow. A)Draw a free-body diagram of each...
