Determining Coefficient of Friction for a Sliding Toboggan on a Slope

[RajNijhar]

Homework Statement

A 10.0kg toboggan is sliding down a hill with a slope of 15.0 degrees. If it is maintaining a constant velocity, what is the coefficient of friction?

Homework Equations

Fnet=ma
Fg=mg
Ffkinetic=mewFnormal i think
Ffstatic=mewFN

The Attempt at a Solution

like I am soo lost i don't know where to begin, my teacher said make an x component and a y component but still it doesn't help me :(

Problems like this almost always start by drawing a force diagram, and thinking about what are all the forces that act on the object. So start by doing that.
