Horizontal Force - Friction Problem





How would I go about solving this problem?
Do you just ignore the sled and snow friction?
Any help would be great.

You can't ignore the sled and snow friction. Please that note that the force you exert of the sled + penguin is not the force experience by the penguin, since part of the force is " filtered" off by friction between the snow and sled.

This should be enough to send you in the right direction :)

Off Topic : Cute Penguin you have BTW
