A 5-kg crate is released from rest at Point A of a 20-kg ramp which is inclined at 40 degrees as shown in the figure below. The lengths of the ramp is 2 m. The interface between the ramp and the ground can be assumed to be frictionless. Use Newton's 2nd Law and the definition of the center of mass to determine the horizontal distance that the ramp has moved when the crate reaches Point B. Neglect the size of the crate. Does your answer depend on the frictional force between the crate and the ramp?
