A team of eight dogs pulls a sled with waxed wood runners on wet snow (mush!). The dogs have average masses of 20.0 kg, and the loaded sled with its rider has a mass of 245 kg. (Assume that friction is not negligible.)

(a) Calculate the acceleration of the dogs starting from rest if each dog exerts an average force of 185 N backward on the snow.
(b) Calculate the force in the coupling between the dogs and the sled.
