A right-triangle ramp is drawn on the left side of a horizontal baseline. The ramp’s hypotenuse slopes downward from left to right at an angle labeled “θ0” between the hypotenuse and the rightward horizontal baseline. The horizontal run of the ramp (its base) is marked as length D, starting at x = –D on the leftmost top point of the ramp and ending at x = 0 at the foot of the ramp. From x = 0 to x = 4D, the baseline is a straight horizontal line representing the rough surface. Tick marks on the baseline indicate positions x = 0, D, 2D, 3D, and 4D. The inclined segment is frictionless; the horizontal segment is shaded or marked as rough. No block is explicitly drawn on the diagram.

A block is initially at rest on top of an inclined ramp that makes an angle \( \theta_0 \) with the horizontal. The distance measured along the base of the ramp is \( D \). After the block is released from rest, it slides down the frictionless ramp and then continues onto a rough horizontal surface until it finally comes to rest at the position \( x = 4D \) measured from the base of the ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough horizontal surface is \( \mu_k \).
