Problem

A 5.0 kg5.0\,\text{kg} sled is pulled along level snow by a horizontal rope that exerts a constant tension of 40 N40\,\text{N}. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and snow is 0.100.10. Starting from rest, the sled is pulled for 6.0 s6.0\,\text{s}. Calculate the magnitude of the impulse delivered to the sled during this interval.
