    What is the coefficient of friction in a child pulling a sled up an incline?

    Sorry Simon I meant to say mgcos(15) is equal to the normal force, its on my diagram. AdityaDev, I have the force along the incline as mgsin(15). I think what's really confusing me is that 37 degree angle where is it? "rope inclined at 37 degrees to the horizontal," to me says that there is a...
