Gravitational Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy problem 12


A body of mass slips from the top of an inclined plane with height . The inclined plane extends into a horizontal plane. The horizontal distance between the initial and final position of the body where the body stops is (see the figure below). The coefficient of friction between the body and the plane is the same throughout. What is the coefficient of friction between the body and the plane?
