A small boat is being pushed up a ramp into the back of a flatbed truck. The boat is sitting at the top of the ramp, which is located 1.4 m above the ground. The boaters think the boat is safe there, and begin to walkaway. However, they have neglected the thin layer of ice that has formed on the ramp, which is angled at 30◦ up from the ground. Neglecting the friction between the boat and the ramp, how long do the boaters havebefore the boat reaches the bottom of the ramp?
