Question

   A 6.0 kg block is pushed2.0 m up a vertical wall with constantspeed by a constant force of magnitude F applied at anangle of = 30° with the horizontal, as shownin the figure below. If the coefficient of kinetic friction betweenblock and wall is 0.30, determine the work done by each of thefollowing.
(a) the force J

(b) gravity
J

(c) the normal force between block and wall
J

(d) By how much does the gravitational potential energy increaseduring the block's motion?
