32. 1. A sled is being pulled rightward across a surface by a horizontal rope tied to it. Draw the FBD for the sled. FAFA FgFg FNFN FfFf

33. 2. If the rope is at an angle above the horizontal, how will the other forces on the sled be affected? Explain why.

34. Weight will not be affected. Normal force will be decreased because the applied force will have a vertical upward component. Friction will be decreased because the normal force will be decreased.

35. 3. What is the net force acting on the sled? Explain why it is impossible to describe the motion of the sled without more information. The net force equal to the horizontal component of the applied force minus the frictional force (vertical forces cancel out). You don’t know if the sled is speeding up or slowing down because you don’t know which force is larger.
