Question: A 211 kg log is pulled up a ramp by means of a rope that is parallel to the surface of the ramp. The ramp is inclined at 33.0 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the log and the ramp is 0.850, and the log has an acceleration of 0.900 m/s2. Find the tension in the rope.
