2018 F = ma Exam A — Question 6

A packing crate with mass m = 115 kg is slid up a 5.00 m long ramp which makes an angle of 20.0◦ with respect to the horizontal by an applied force of F = 1.00×103 N directed parallel to the ramp’s incline. A frictional force of magnitude f = 4.00×102 N resists the motion. If the crate starts from rest, what is its speed at the top of the ramp?
