A 10.0 kg block slides down a plane inclined at an angle of 53 degrees to the horizontal from an initial height of 40.0 m the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the inclined plane is 0.300. The block continues to slide 20.0 m across a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface is 0.200. The block then continues up a frictionless ramp inclined at an angle theta,?, to the horizontal determine the total work done against friction and the final height the block will rise .
