Please Note: It may not always be possible to include the necessary special characters, superscripts, subscripts, etc. in e-mail responses to this group of exercises. We suggest that you discuss this matter with your professor/class and decide upon a system for indicating such characters. You may cut/paste some characters and/or Greek letters from Microsoft Word, using the Insert menu. Alternatively, we suggest that you agree upon abbreviations for or spell out symbols, Greek letters, or characters and indicate superscripts and subscripts by using "sup", "sub", or up/down carats.

A 100 N crate (initially at rest) is pushed 10.0 m up a ramp by an applied 150 N force. The ramp is inclined at an angle of 30.0° and the force makes an angle of 30.0° with respect to the ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.100.

Fe = 100 N
F = 150 N
L = 10.0 m
θ = 30.0°
μ = 0.100
g = 9.80 m/s2

A 1.00 x 103 N crate (initially at rest) is sitting at position A, as shown in the figure below. You push the crate from A to B with a constant 400 N force. At B you release the crate, and it slides down the incline and across the horizontal section until it stops. Let's agree to choose zero gravitational potential energy at the level of the horizontal section. The coefficient of kinetic friction for all surfaces is μk = 0.100.
