In the figure below, a constant external force P = 160 N is applied to a 20−kg box, which is on a rough horizontal surface. The force pushes the box a distance of 8.0 m, in a time interval of 4.0 s, and the speed changes from v1 = 0.5 m/s to v2 = 2.6 m/s. What is the work done on the box by friction? Express your answer in joules.
