Question:
Consider the situation shown in figure (8-E2). The system is released from rest and the block of mass $1.0 \mathrm{~kg}$ is found to have a speed $0.3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ after it has descended through a distance of $1 \mathrm{~m}$. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table.
Solution:
