1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A 16.5 kg sled is being pulled across a horizontal surface at a constant velocity. The pulling force has a magnitude of 82.0 N and is directed at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction.


2. Relevant equations



3. The attempt at a solution
I have no idea where to begin.

Have you drawn the FBD?

What forces are acting on the sled?
