Physics

To find the applied force acting on the sled, we can use Newton's Second Law, considering the frictional force as well. The net force acting on the sled can be calculated first, and then we will add the frictional force to find the applied force.

 

Given:

Mass of the sled

Acceleration

Frictional force

 

Step 1: Calculate the Net Force
