2011 F = ma Exam — Question 18

18. A block of mass m = 3.0 kg slides down one ramp, and then up a second ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and each ramp is µk = 0.40. The block begins at a height h1 = 1.0 m above the horizontal. Both ramps are at a 30◦incline above the horizontal. To what height above the horizontal does the block rise on the second ramp?
