Consider an inclined plane that is 20 m long and makes an angle of 41 degrees with the horizontal.  A 1 kg block is placed at the top of the plane, initially at rest.  The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is 0.3.  Assuming that the incline is steep enough for the block to begin sliding, and using g = 10 m/s2, calculate the amount of time for the block to slide down the incline, in s.
