Force of Friction


<div class="wp-block-create-block-problemblock">Two sleds are attached by a rope and are being pulled by an applied force, F##_a## = 100 N.  There is 40 N of frictional force opposing movement on each sled.  Draw a free body diagram to help find:<br /><img src="/old/images/newtonsthirdlaw.gif"  alt="physics newtons third law force of friction problem ><br /><ul><li>Find the acceleration of the sleds.</li><li>Find the tension in the rope.</li></ul"></div>
