A semi-trailer is coasting downhill along a mountain highway when its brakes fail. The driver pulls onto a runaway truck ramp that is inclined at an angle of 20.0 degree above the horizontal. The semi-trailer coasts to a stop after traveling 190 meter along the ramp. Evaluate what was the truck initial speed? Ignore air resistance and friction.
