A box of mass M is sliding across a frictionless floor towards a ramp tilted at angle theta.

  1. If the ramp is frictionless, how far will the block slide up along the ramp before stopping?
  2. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between ramp and block is mu, how far will the block slide up along the ramp before stopping?

Let's move on ...
