Explanation:
Given that,
The slope of the ramp,
Mass of the box, m = 60 kg
(a) Distance covered by the truck up the slope, d = 300 m
Initially the truck moves with a constant velocity. We know that the net work done on the box is equal to 0 as per work energy theorem as :
u and v are the initial and the final velocity of the truck
(b) The work done on the box by the force of gravity is given by :
Here,
W = -24550.13 J
(c) What is the work done on the box by the normal force is equal to 0 as the angle between the force and the displacement is 90 degrees.
(d) The work done by friction is given by :
Hence, this is the required solution.
