Problem

A 1.5 kg1.5\,\text{kg} block slides down a rough plane inclined at 25∘25^\circ to the horizontal. After 3 s3\,\text{s} of motion, its speed is 4.2 m s−14.2\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}. Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane. (Take g=9.8 m s−2g = 9.8\,\text{m\,s}^{-2}.)
