A 10 grams bullet moving at 800 m/sec hits 1000 grams block of wood and stays inside the block.  The block had been originally at rest and is free to move.  Immediately after the collision the block-bullet system  starts to move up a ramp that is incline at 30 degrees. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp surface is 0.30.  How far up the ramp  will the block and bullet system move after the collision before coming to rest?
