A child attempts to drag a sledge along horizontal ground by means of a rope attached to the sledge. The rope makes an angle of \(15 ^ { \circ }\) with the horizontal (see diagram).
Given that the sledge remains at rest and that the frictional force acting on the sledge is 60 N , find the tension in the rope.
