You managed to pull a heavy crate up a ramp on a truck. The crate has mass 46 kg. You were pulling with 460 N of force along the ramp while the ramp made an angle of theta=26.0 degrees with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the ramp is 0.48. What is the acceleration of the crate along the ramp?
