Problem

3.0\,\text{kg}

block is connected by a light string over a frictionless pulley to a hanging mass

m

. The block rests on an incline that makes an angle of

20^{\circ}

with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is

0.20

. If the system is released from rest and is to move at constant speed, which value of

m

is required? (Use

g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2

.) a)
