So I had the correct answer to this question, and now I'm redoing it 10 minutes later and can't seem to get it correct even after using the equation in the textbook :S
\(m= 180 kg \)
\(g=9.8m/s^2\)
\({\mu}_{0} = 0.17 \)
\(a = {0.0062m}^{-2}\)
\({x}_{2}=10\)
\({x}_{1}=0\)
The textbook gives the answer of 6kJ but it rounds
The answer I got originally was something like 5997 i think.... now I get 6644.4
thanks for your help.
