A 20.0 kg package is positioned at the bottom of an inclined ramp. The ramp has a length of 15.0 m, and an inclination angle of 34.0°above the horizontal floor. A constant force having a magnitude 290 N, and directed parallel to the horizontal floor, is applied to the package in order to push it up the ramp. While the package is moving, the ramp exerts a constant frictional force of 65.0 N on it.
a. Draw a free-body diagram of the package.
b. What is the total work done on the package as it moves from the bottom to the top of the ramp?
c. How much time does it take for the package to get to the top of the inclined plane?
