I really want to study physics and math, but my family is pressuring me towards engineering. They say that physics job market is nonexistent, that I'll be homeless, that studying engineering is more lucrative, and that you can transfer to physics more easily. And that job employers will always...
So this is the problem:
A 250-kg crate is on a rough ramp, inclined at 30° above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and ramp is 0.22. A horizontal force of 5000 N is applied to the crate, pushing it up the ramp. What is the acceleration of the crate?

I've heard of Apostol's book, but I haven't tried it. I'll try to look into it. My class is using this one: https://books.google.com/books?id=PTELAAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=calculus&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiznoHEzJvWAhXBNSYKHcq0ABwQ6AEIUDAH#v=onepage&q=calculus&f=false
Thanks for the suggestions
Sorry if I came across as arrogant or pretentious; I'm not trying to brag. I've already read some other calculus books, and many people told me to acquire this book, but I was unfamiliar with the rigorous nature of the book. I've read through previously what my class is doing.
I'm currently struggling a lot in self-studying Spivak's Calculus; I've tried numerous online resources including math stackexchange, I'm currently about half-way through How To Prove It as many people have suggested. I'm only in high school, so the calculus class I'm taking barely coincides...
