A body falls from rest from point A at a height of 15 m down the ramp shown in the figure. There is only friction in the horizontal section BC which has a length Δx = 4m, determine how fast it passes through point D located at a height of 5 m if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the body and the surface in the section BC is. uk = 0.6
