Figure 1 Robin is pushing a crate up an inclined plane. Robin pushes with a force of FRC which is parallel to the plane. Robin moves the crate a distance d (measured parallel to the plane). There is ordinary surface friction between the crate and the plane. This question refers to the situation shown in Figure 1, above. Robin pushed the crate with a constant force and the crate moved at constant speed. The crate moved a distance d = 3.37 meters. The crate has a mass of 21.5 kg and the plane is inclined at an angle of 38.5 degrees above horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the plane is 0.22 . Assume the only forces acting on the box are the force exerted by Robin, the forces exerted by the inclined plane (this includes friction), and gravity (with g = 9.81 m/s2. Calculate the work done (in units of joules) on the crate by the inclined plane via the friction force (and only via the friction force) as the crate moved a distance d. (The sign of your answer, positive or negative, is important.)Figure 1 Robin is pushing a crate up an inclined plane. Robin pushes with a force of FRC which is parallel to the plane.

As shown in the figure below, a box of mass m = 55.0 kg (initially at rest) is pushed a distance d = 63.0 m across a rough warehouse floor by an applied force of FA = 228 N directed at an angle of 30.0∘ below the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the box is 0.100. Determine the following. (For parts (a) through (d), give your answer to the nearest multiple of 10.) (a) work done by the applied force WA = J (b) work done by the force of gravity Wg = J (c) work done by the normal force WN = J (d) work done by the force of friction Wf = J (e) Calculate the net work on the box by finding the sum of all the works done by each individual force. WNet = J (f) Now find the net work by first finding the net force on the box, then finding the work done by this net force. WNet = J
