Suppose you are at a bowling alley, where a machine uses a constant
force and pushes balls up a ramp one meter in length. The balls are
sliding -- not rolling -- along the incline, and they end up half a meter
above the base of the ramp. Ignore friction. Approximately how much
force does the machine put on a 5 kg bowling ball?
1.0 m
