Given information
We are given that:
inclination of the slope, 
.
Distance from the chunk to the edge, 
.
the oefficient of kinetic friction, 
.
The height, 
.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Since the gravitational force is a conservative force, the total mechanical energy of the snow chunk will be conserved
which means that the change in kinetic energy will be equal to the gravitational potential energy , 
.
The velocity at the top of the roof 
.
is the height, 
is the mass of the chunk, 
is the acceleration due to gravity.
