work done
A 70kg70kgman carries a 15kg15kgbox up a flight of stairs. If the angle of the stairs is 25°25\degreeand the man travels a total distance of 14m14m, how much work does he do to the box? How much work does he do in total?
Practice: Work done by gravity

Forces: Work- wagon on slope
A 20kg wagon rests on an inclined plane with angle 30°. The wagon is pulled by a 200N tension force along the plane and is displaced by 2 m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the surfaces is 0.30.

Work on wagon
A 20kg wagon rests on an inclined plane with angle 30°. The wagon is pulled by a 200N tension force along the plane and is displaced by 2 m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the surfaces is 0.30.
