Energy Conservation With Nonconservative Forces: The figure shows two crates, each of mass m = 24 kg, that are connected by a very light wire. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate on the inclined surface and the surface itself is 0.31. Find the speed of the crates after they have moved 1.6 m starting from rest.
