A box is given a kick, and subsequently slides along a horizontal, frictionless surface with velocity . It then travels up a ramp inclined at an angle to the horizontal. There is friction between the ramp and the box. If the box travels a total distance D along the ramp, then what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the box? Express your answer in terms of the variables given in the problem (and g if relevant).

Santa Claus tries to drag his bag of presents along a horizontal surface by a red rope that is angled at 55 degrees above the horizontal. Santa Claus applies a force due to tension of 4500N along the red rope. This is the minimum force to just start the bag in motion. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the bag and the ground is 0.3 and the coefficient of static friction is 0.5. What is the mass of the bag?
