Problem

A 5.0 kg5.0\,\text{kg} block slides upward along a rough incline that makes 30∘30^{\circ} with the horizontal. Its speed at the bottom is 4.0 m ⁣⋅ ⁣s−14.0\,\text{m}\!\cdot\!\text{s}^{-1}, and it comes to rest after moving 0.60 m0.60\,\text{m} along the incline. Take g=9.8 m ⁣⋅ ⁣s−2g=9.8\,\text{m}\!\cdot\!\text{s}^{-2}. Determine the magnitude of the kinetic friction force acting on the block while it moves up the incline.
