Derivation Challenge:
A mass starts from rest at the top of a rough incline of height H and angle θ. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the mass and the incline is μk. The mass then slides across a smooth frictionless horizontal surface of length H and flies off a table of height H.
Derive the expression below for the distance the mass makes it from the edge of the table before striking the ground.
