Answer

$S=3.33ft$

Work Step by Step

According to the principle of work and energy $T_A+\Sigma _{A-c}=T_C$ $\implies \frac{1}{2}m_A^2+U_w-U_f=\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2$ $\implies \frac{1}{2}+W(4)-\mu_kWS^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $0-(30)(4)-(0.6)(30)S^{\prime}=0$ This simplifies to: $S^{\prime}=6.667ft$ Now, $S=10-S^{\prime}$ $\implies S=10-6.667=3.33ft$
