A 2.79-kg block is placed on a rough surface inclined at 28.1°. The block is launched at a speed of 3.87 m/s up the incline, and comes to rest after sliding 0.969 m up the incline.
Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline.

The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
II drew a diagram first, used a coordinate system with the x axis pointed up the slope and the y axis perpendicular to the slope. Got equations in both the X and Y direction.
x: -f-mgsin(theta)=ma_x
y: N-mgcos(theta)=0
But now I'm confused of what to do...
