In the real world, ramps aren't frictionless, so I had to drag Brisket up a ramp, slanted at 19.1° from the gr?

ound, that had a coefficient of kinetic friction mu_k = 0.645. I applied a tension force FR=4763.7N to my pet cow using the rope. Brisket moved up the ramp with an acceleration of magnitude 4.70m/s2. With this information, including friction on the ramp, what is Brisket's mass (in kg)?

Hint: Tackle this by first identifying all the forces involved and then drawing Brisket's free-body diagram. After that, resolve all the forces into their components, including relating kinetic friction to the normal force. (I suggest you define your coordinate system so that the x-axis is parallel to the ramp and the y-axis is perpendicular to the ramp.) Note which groups of forces balance and which don't (and thus produce the components of a net force). Finally, use Fnet = ma to solve for Brisket's mass.

I'd really appreciate if someone could help me with this problem. I've spent a lot of time trying to figure it out with no avail. Thank you very much.
