Homework Statement



In a tractor pulling contest, a 2300-kg tractor pulls a 4900-kg sledge with an acceleration of 0.61 m/s^2. If the tractor exerts a horizontal force of 7700 N on the ground, determine the magnitudes of (a) the force of the tractor on the sledge; (b) the force of the sledge on the tractor; and (c) the frictional force extended on the sledge by the ground.
