What force will be needed to start the sled moving?

A sled with a mass of 50kg is pulled along a flat, snow-covered ground. The static friction coefficient is .30.

My answer was 1470 Newtons, but I want to see if that is correct.

thanks in advance.

I got 147.15 multiply coef of static frict. by normal force (which is equal to m*g) to get the friction force and that is your answer

multiply 30 times 50 to find force which will make 1500N
