A giant pulls with a force of 310 N on a rope at an angle of θ = 26 degrees to steal a 44 kg brownie.
As a result, the brownie slides at a constant velocity.
1. What is the horizontal component of the rope tension?
2. What is the strength (magnitude) of the frictional force between the brownie and the floor?
3. What is the vertical component of the rope tension?
4. What is the strength (magnitude) of the support force of the floor against the brownie?
5. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the brownie and the floor?

Just to clarify, is the rope attached to the brownie? Also, is this neglecting friction and air resistance?

er... nvm, heh, I guess I should read the whole thing before I ask questions

Let me just say, that picture is awesome. I'm a little rusty on my physics, but I think this is correct. Also, I can explain the answers if you're interested, it'll just take a minute to type out. 

1. 278.626N
2. 278.626N
3. 135.895N
4. 295.305N
5. 0.944
