7. Friction, Inclines, Systems / Inclined Planes / Problem 4

In a shipping facility, workers use a manual loading ramp to move heavy crates into freight trucks. To optimize efficiency while ensuring that workers do not exert more than 100 N of force pushing the crates upward, what is the maximum angle at which the loading ramp can be set? Assume the average crate has a mass of 40 kg, and ignore the effects of friction.
