A 3 kg crate slides down a ramp. The ramp is 1 m in length and inclined at an angle 30∘, as shown in the Figure. The crate starts from rest at the top, experiences a constant frictional force of magnitude 5 N, and continues to move a short distance on the floor after it leaves the ramp. Use energy methods to determine the speed of the crate at the bottom of the ramp.
