Question
A 3.00 kgkg block is released from rest on a ramp that is inclined at an angle of 60.0∘ below the horizontal. The initial position of the block is a vertical distance of 2.00 m above the bottom of the ramp.
If the speed of the block is 5.00 m/sm/s when it reaches the bottom of the ramp, what was the work done on it by the friction force?
