A box is given a kick, and subsequently slides along a horizontal, frictionless surface with velocity . It then travels up a ramp inclined at an angle to the horizontal. There is friction between the ramp and the box. If the box travels a total distance D along the ramp, then what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the box? Express your answer in terms of the variables given in the problem (and g if relevant).
