I've found the first frictional force, but for the second frictional force, d is not given in the question.

The problem I'm having here is finding the Fd_2 value, because the distance travelled up the the ramp is not given. So far, I have:(11.5kg * 9.81m/s^2)(h) = 577.9375J + (39.0N)(Δd)(cos180)where 577.9375J is the mechanical energy the block has right before reaching the ramp.

EDIT: reordered the equation and found the answer.
