If the 50-kg crate starts from rest and travels a distance of 6 m P

up the plane in 4 s, determine the magnitude of force P acting
on the crate. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the 30°
crate and the ground is mk = 0.25.

Free-Body Diagram: Here, the kinetic friction Ff = mkN = 0.25N is required to be

directed down the plane to oppose the motion of the crate which is directed up the
