Where brick hits ground after sliding off a roof w/ friction

[isabelrose]

Homework Statement

Brick is sliding off a roof, starts at the peak of the roof (7.0 m above ground), slides down roof with kinetic friction value of 0.28, very edge of roof is 4.0 m above ground. Where does the brick land on the ground?

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

I attempted the solution by: [/B]
drawing force diagram of brick (@ = angle of incline, 30 degrees) which gives the acceleration down (acceleration down the roof = positive direction) the roof by:
ma = mgsin@ - frictional force
ma = mgsin30 - 0.28

Now should I just continue to solve for the acceleration and then treat this as a projectile? If so, can someone walk me through it?

Thanks!

0.28 is not the frictional force. It is the coefficient of kinetic friction. How do you obtain the frictional force from the coefficient?

Oh yeah!
The frictional force (Ff) = coefficient of kinetic friciton * Fn = 0.28 * mgcos@

Good.
So, at what speed does it leave the roof?
