Question
Work-energy principle
A 10 lb package moves down a conveyor belt and transition to a ramp. The angle of
both the conveyor belt and the ramp = 12 degrees.
(The length of the ramp = 10 ft (This is different than in the figure). The
coefficient of kinetic (sliding) friction is mu_k = 0.40. Compute the work done by the
friction as it slides on the ramp.
Compute the height difference from the top to the bottom of the ramp.
Compute the gravitational potential energy at the top relative to the bottom.
The velocity at the end of the ramp = 2 ft/s. Compute the kinetic energy at the
bottom.
Use the work-energy principal to compute the kinetic energy at the top of the
beginning of the ramp.
Then, compute what the velocity at the top must have been.
