#### Answer

$v = 2.4~m/s$

#### Work Step by Step

The sum of the work done by the tension and the friction will be equal to the kinetic energy. We can find the work done by the tension. $W_T = T~d~cos(\theta)$ $W_T = (30~N)(3.0~m)~cos(30^{\circ})$ $W_T = 77.94~J$ We can find the work done by friction. $W_f = F_f~d~cos(180^{\circ})$ $W_f = F_N~\mu_k~d~cos(180^{\circ})$ $W_f = [mg-T~sin(30^{\circ})]~\mu_k~d~cos(180^{\circ})$ $W_f = [(10~kg)(9.80~m/s^2)-(30~N)~sin(30^{\circ})](0.20)(3.0~m)~cos(180^{\circ})$ $W_f = -49.8~J$ We can find Paul's speed. $KE = W_T+W_f$ $\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = W_T+W_f$ $v^2 = \frac{2(W_T+W_f)}{m}$ $v = \sqrt{\frac{2(W_T+W_f)}{m}}$ $v = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(77.94~J-49.8~J)}{10~kg}}$ $v = 2.4~m/s$
