Abox slides on an inclined plane (=40°) that has friction (=0.43) which causes the box to slide with a constant velocity of 3 m/s. the box reaches the bottom and continues to slide across a horizontal surface with friction (=0.34) until coming to rest five meters from the base of the ramp. what is the length of the ramp that the box slid down?

the answer is that the length of the ramp is 4m, but i don't see how to get there. since the box is sliding down the ramp at a constant speed, there is no net force acting on the box, which means the net work done on the ramp is zero. the energy the box has at the bottom of the ramp doesn't equal the work done to travel 5 meters from the bottom of the ramp.

?

Air initially at 0.75 bar, 1000 k, and occupying a volume of 0.12 m^3 undergoes two processes. process 1-2: the air is compressed isothermally until the volume is halved. process 2-3: the air undergoes a constant pressure process until the volume is halved again. assume ideal gas behavior. a) determine the mass of the air, in kg. b) the work and the heat transfer for each of the two processes, in kj. (100 kj = 1 bar . m^3)
