Problem

A 10 kg10\,\text{kg} sled is pulled along level snow at constant speed by a rope that makes a 30∘30^\circ angle above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.100.10. Determine the magnitude of the tension TT in the rope required to maintain the sled’s motion at constant speed.
