The coefficients of friction between the 160-kg crate and the ramp are μs = 0.3 and μk= 0.28.

(a) What tension T0 must the winch exert to start the crate moving up the ramp?


(b) If the tension remains at the value T0 after the crate starts sliding, what total work is done on the crate as it slides a distance s = 3 m up the ramp, and what is the resulting velocity of the crate?
