A sledge loaded with bricks has a total mass of 18.0 kg and is pulled at a contstant speed by a rope. The rope is inclined at 20.00degrees about the horizontal, and the sledge moves a distance of 20.0m on a horizontal surface. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sledge and surface is 0.500. What is Tension of the rope?
For the free body diagram...I have tension on the +x axis and Force of friction on the -x axis. There is no resultant force on the y-axis so i did not need that. BUT, tension needs to be broken up into component form because of 20 degrees incline, and that's what I don't know how to do because so far my resultant x force is T=Fk..which is not right.
