The ramp has dimensions of 20 m length and 4 m height. The angle made by the ramp on the horizontal ground is
θ = sin⁻¹ (4/20)
After getting the angle, the force required to move the box can then be solved given that the mass of the box is known and also the coefficient of friction of the ramp

Why must objects be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance?
zubka84 [21]
Objects should be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance because it could damage the balance. Also, because it would give you wrong reading of the mass. Hot objects would warm the air around it. A warm air would expand and would produce convection as it rises causing to give the object a mass that is less than the actual. Another reason would be it would cause instability in the readings, the mass would fluctuate every now and then due to the convection currents around the object. It is always recommended to weigh the masses of objects that are in room temperature.
