Two crates of fruit are released from the top of a ramp inclined at 30 degrees from the horizontal and 4.5 meter long. The two crates consist of an apple crate of mass 20 kg that is placed in front of a watermelon crate of mass 80 kg. The apple crate has a coefficient of friction of 0.20 while the watermelon crate has a coefficient of friction of 0.15. How long does it take the apple crate to reach the bottom of the incline if it needs to travel a distance of 4.5 meters?

A contestant in a winter games event pushes a 59.0 kg block of ice across a frozen lake with a rope over his shoulder as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction is 0.1 and the coefficient of the the kinetic friction is 0.03. What is the minimum force (in N) he must exert to get the block moving?
A roller-coaster car is towed up an incline at a steady speed of 0.500 m/s by a chain parallel to the surface of the incline. The slope is 3.00%, which means that the elevation increases by 3.00 m for every 100.0 m of horizontal distance. The mass of the roller-coaster car is 594 kg. Ignoring friction, what is the magnitude of the force exerted on the car by the chain?
