Well would Fnet not equal Fpush - Fdown - fk? If I knew what the Fnet was I could determine the acceleration. If the applied force is 500N(i've changed it from 461N) and Fdown is 171N and fk is 290N then would Fnet not equal 39 N? Thanks everyone. :)

Hi Cilabitaon, So I calculated Fx to be -167. Now how do I use that number to calculate the time it takes? Sry I'm a physics noob. :) Thanks.

Thanks tiny-tim. :) Is there a way to find the time it takes to push the cabinet up the 15m if a minimum applied force is used of 461 N?

Thanks so much guys. With your help and reading this thread: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=388474 I figured the applied force needs to be 461 N. Now I just have absolutely no clue how to calculate the acceleration of the cabinet up the ramp and how to calculate the...

Homework Statement A cabinet is pushed up a ramp at angle of 10 degrees. The cabinet weighs 100 kg. The friction coefficient is 0.30. What is the minimum applied force required to push the cabinet up the ramp? Calculate the time it takes to push the object up the ramp. The ramp is 15...
