Answer:
Force = 35 N
Explanation:
From Newton's third law of motion, the boy must apply a force greater than the weight of the sled to lift it.
weight of sled = mg
where m is its mass and g the force of gravity on it.
weight of sled = 50 N
Force applied by the boy on the sled = 15 N
Since the force applied on the sled by the boy is lesser than the weight of the sled, then;
Force that the sled exerts on the student = 50 - 15
= 35 N
The force exerted by the sled on the student is 35 N.
