Tallula is pushing on an elephant with a
horizontal force of 1110 N [E]. Bob is pulling
on the same elephant with a horizontal force
of 1305 N [E]. The elephant is standing on
skateboards. The mass of the elephant is
1500 kg. The coefficient of static friction be-
tween the skateboards and the road is 0.162
and the coefficient of kinetic friction between
the skateboards and the road is 0.150. What
is the acceleration of the elephant?
