Question

A box of mass ?=17.5 kg is pulled up a ramp that is inclined at an angle ?=17.0∘ angle with respect to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is ?k=0.275 , and the rope pulling the box is parallel to the ramp. If the box accelerates up the ramp at a rate of ?=2.69 m/s2 , calculate the tension ?T in the rope. Use ?=9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.
