normal force from the ground on the sled
i agree that it is normal force
since this is a force diagram for the sled, you dont care what forces act on the dogs or what forces the dogs exert on other bodies
moreover , in force diagrams we dont put velocity vectors.
we need to see the object ...not dog so what other tell u is right ..
This is multiple choice, so you can go through the options and eliminate those that aren't relevant. Since this is the a force diagram for the sled, you're only worried about the forces on the \(\it sled\). Everything the dogs do is summed up by \(\overrightarrow F_a\). Also, velocity plays no part in the picture of a force diagram!! What's left? Normal force. And does it make sense? Yeah, otherwise gravitational force would be left unchallenged, bring the sled downwards like in freefall.
