In the design of a conveyor-belt system, small metal blocks are discharged with a velocity of 0.4

Question:

In the design of a conveyor-belt system, small metal blocks are discharged with a velocity of 0.4 m/s onto a ramp by the upper conveyor belt shown. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the blocks and the ramp is 0.30, calculate the angle θ which the ramp must make with the horizontal so that the blocks will transfer without slipping to the lower conveyor belt moving at the speed of 0.14 m/s.
