A system of a 50 kg empty trolley and a 140 kg counterweight is shown in Figure below. After the counterweight has dropped 10 m from rest, the velocity of the trolley is 6 m/s. If all frictional resistances can be regarded as a single force F acting on the trolley parallel to the inclined plane, calculate the resistance of the force. Note that pulleys are smooth and frictionless.
