The sled dog must produce a horizontal force of 80 N in order to keep the 160 kg sled moving across level ice at a constant velocity. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the ice?

Question

Ok so the part that confuses me the most is "constant velocity" meaning that there is inertia at work.

I am not too sure if I can just use the given values to go with the kinetic friction....Any ideas people?

The constant velocity part is just another way of saying it's in equilibrium. |dw:1439385917192:dw|
