In the design of a super market, there are to be several ramps connecting different parts of the store. Customers will have to push grocery carts up ramps and it is obviously desired that this not be too difficult. An engineer has done a survey and found that almost no one complains if the force required is no more that 50 N. Will a slope of 5 degrees be too steep, assuming a 30 Kg cart with groceries? Assume that all friction can be accounted for with a kinetic friction coefficient of 0.10.
