Two forces act on wagon in the direction of the incline: 
1) component of mg = mg sin 18.5° down the incline and 
2) tension 140 N in the rope up the incline. 

Net force up the incline 
= 140 - (40) * (9.8) * (sin 18.5°) 
= 140 - 124.4 = 15.6 N 

Acceleration of wagon, 
a = 15.6 / 40 = 0.39 m/s^2. 

v^2 = u^2 + 2as = 0 + 2 * (0.39) * (80) = 
=> v = √(62.4) = 7.9 m/s.
