A constant force of 30 N pulls on a 16 kg block on a horizontal surface. The force is directed at 37 degrees above the horizontal. A friction force impedes the motion.   If at the start of the motion the block was at rest and after 10 meters it has velocity of magnitude 3 m/s, what is the coefficient of friction?
