Answer:

a) We kindly invite you to see below the Free Body Diagram of the forces acting on the sled.

b) The weight of the sled is 490.35 newtons.

c) A force of 147.105 newtons is needed to start the sled moving.

d) A force of 49.035 newtons is needed to keep the sled moving at a constant velocity.

Explanation:

a) We kindly invite you to see below the Free Body Diagram of the forces acting on the sled. All forces are listed:

F - External force exerted on the sled, measured in newtons.

f - Friction force, measured in newtons.

N - Normal force from the ground on the mass, measured in newtons.

W - Weight, measured in newtons.

b) The weight of the sled is determined by the following formula:

W = m\cdot g (1)

Where:

m - Mass, measured in kilograms.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that m = 50\,kg and g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, the weight of the sled is:

W = (50\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)

W = 490.35\,N

The weight of the sled is 490.35 newtons.

c) The minimum force needed to start the sled moving on the horizontal ground is:

F_{min,s} = \mu_{s}\cdot W (2)

Where:

\mu_{s} - Static coefficient of friction, dimensionless.

W - Weight of the sled, measured in newtons.

If we know that \mu_{s} = 0.3 and W = 490.35\,N, then the force needed to start the sled moving is:

F_{min,s} = 0.3\cdot (490.35\,N)

F_{min,s} = 147.105\,N

A force of 147.105 newtons is needed to start the sled moving.

d) The minimum force needed to keep the sled moving at constant velocity is:

F_{min,k} = \mu_{k}\cdot W (3)

Where \mu_{k} is the kinetic coefficient of friction, dimensionless.

If we know that \mu_{k} = 0.1 and W = 490.35\,N, then the force needed to keep the sled moving at a constant velocity is:

F_{min,k} = 0.1\cdot (490.35\,N)

F_{min,k} = 49.035\,N

A force of 49.035 newtons is needed to keep the sled moving at a constant velocity.
