# A \( 100 \) \( \text{N} \) lawnmower is being pushed with a handle that makes a \( 37^\circ \) angle to the ground. There is \( 10 \) \( \text{N} \) of friction between the mower and the ground. What force must be applied to the handle of the mower to get it to accelerate at \( 3 \) \( \text{m/s}^2 \)?
