Answer

$s=1.35m$

Work Step by Step

The required distance can be determined as follows: $\Sigma F_y=ma_y=0$ $\implies N+1000(\frac{3}{5})-800sin30-(100)(9.81)=0$ $\implies N=781N$ We know that $\Sigma U_{1\rightarrow 2}=\Sigma F_x(s_2-s_1)$ $\Sigma U_{1\rightarrow 2}=1000(\frac{4}{5})+800cos 30-(0.2\times 781)(s)$ $\implies \Sigma U_{1\rightarrow 2}=1336.62(s)$ As $\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2+\Sigma U_{1\rightarrow 2}=\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\frac{1}{2}(100)(0)^2+1336.62(s)=\frac{1}{2}(100)(6)^2$ This simplifies to: $s=1.35m$
