"A mass, denoted M, slides downward along a rough plane surface inclined at angle of 25.94 in degrees relative to the horizontal. Initially the mass has a speed of 7.51 m/s, before it slides a distance of 1.0 m down the incline. During this sliding, the magnitude of the power associated with the work done by friction is equal to the magnitude of the power associated with the work done by the gravitational force. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the mass and the incline?"
Edit: After some more studying, I found out the answer. However, since I don't know how to remove a question, please work I out so that others (and myself) will know for future reference.
A body is sliding down a rough incline such that power associated with friction is equal to power associated with gravity in magnitude.To determine the coefficient of kinetic friction offered by the inclined surface
