Consider the following figure. 14 the F An Eskimo pulling a sled with a rope at an angle to the horizontal. An Eskimo returning from a successful fishing trip pulls a sled loaded with salmon. The total mass of the sled and salmon is 50.0 kg, and the Eskimo exerts a force of 1.20 x 10 N on the sled by pulling on the rope. (a) How much work does he do on the sled if the rope is horizontal to the ground (0 = 0 in the figure) and he pulls the sled 5.00 m? (b) How much work does he do on the sled if 0 = 30.0 and he pulls the sled the same distance? (Treat the sled as a point particle, so details such as the point of attachment of the rope make no difference.) (c) At a coordinate position of 12.4 m, the Eskimo lets up on the applied force. A friction force of 45.0 N between the ice and the sled brings the sled to rest at a coordinate position of 18.2 m. How much work does friction do on the sled?
