A person uses a trolley to move suitcases at an airport. The total mass of the trolley and suitcases is 72 kg. At another place in the airport, the trolley and suitcases are on a slope, as shown in Fig. 2.1. [Figure 2.1] The person releases the trolley from rest at point X. The trolley moves down the slope in a straight line towards point Y. The distance along the slope between points X and Y is 9.5m. The component F of the weight of the trolley and suitcases that acts along the slope is 54 N. Assume that a constant total resistive force of 18N opposes the motion of the trolley and suitcases.
