Step 1
We have the force of gravity acting downwards, which can be calculated as Fg = m * g, where m is the mass of the block (4 kg) and g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2). Therefore, Fg = 4 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 39.2 N. Show more…

A block slides from rest with negligible friction down the track above, descending a vertical height of 5 m to point P at the bottom as seen in the figure. It then slides on the horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and the horizontal surface is 0.2. How far does the block slide on the horizontal surface before it comes to rest?
