What is the proper equation for calculating mass?
m = F*a
m = a/F
m = F+a
m = F/a
How do you calculate weight?
Weight = m/g
Weight = m+g
Weight = m
Weight = m*g

Colette is going camping in the snow. She carries all of her gear behind her on a sled. The sled has a mass of 34 kg. In order to maintain a constant velocity, Colette must pull with a force of 26.7 N. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow?
μk = 0.08
μ= .14
μ = .79
