A 3 kg box is sliding across a frictionless table at a rate of 5 m/s. It encounters a 35° incline with a coefficient of friction between the box and the surface of 0.2. Assume that the static friction is low enough that the box will slide if it is at rest on the incline. (a) Find the maximum distance that the box will slide up the incline.
