A box of mass $$$5 \mathrm{~kg}$$$ is pulled at a constant speed a distance of $$$15 \mathrm{~m}$$$ up a rough plane inclined at an angle of $$$20^{\circ}$$$ to the horizontal. The box moves along a line of greatest slope against a frictional force of $$$40 \mathrm{~N}$$$. The force pulling the box is parallel to the line of greatest slope. Find the work done against friction. ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................

Answer:

$W D=40 \times 158=600 \mathrm{~J}$

Knowledge points:

4.5.1 understand the concept of the work done by a force, and calculate the work done by a constant force when its point of application undergoes a displacement not necessarily parallel to the force W = Fd cos; Use of the scalar product is not required.
