To move the sled evenly over the snow, a force of 24H is required.

To move the sled evenly over the snow, a force of 24H is required. Determine the weight of the sleigh if the friction force is 0.03 of the weight of the sleigh.

Since the friction force is 0.03 of the weight of the sleigh, the latter will be equal to:

24 / 0.03 = 800 n.

By definition, body weight is equal to the product:

P = m * g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity.

We express the mass:

m = P / g.

Then:

m = 800/10 = 80 kg.

Answer: the required mass is 80 kg.
