Calculate the work done on the package by(a) friction (b) gravity, and (c) the normal force (d) What is the net work done on the package)

ANSWER:

Solution 10E

Introduction

We will draw a figure of the situation containing all the forces, then we will identify each forces and what are the angles with the displacement, then we will calculate the total work done on the box.

Step 1

The work done by a force is given by

Where  is the force  is the displacement and  is the angle between force and displacement.
