Problem

A block of mass mm is released from rest at a height hh above the bottom of a fixed rough incline that makes an angle θ\theta with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is μk\mu_k. Derive an expression for the speed vv of the block when it reaches the bottom of the incline in terms of mm, gg, hh, θ\theta and μk\mu_k.
