A crate weighing 850 N is pushed up an inclined plane a distance of 10.0 m. The plane makes an angle of 15.0 degrees with the horizontal and the crate moves with constant velocity. The coefficient of friction between the crate and the plane is 0.24. Calculate the work that is done in pushing the crate.
so....
Given: mass=850 N ,D=10.0 m , angle= 15.0 degrees , coefficient of friction= 0.24
Need to find= work?
Useful equations= work=horizontal force *distance
w=Fh*D
Fh=coefficient of friction *mg
mass *acceleration due to gravity
here mg=850 N
Fn=mgcos(15) degrees
Fh=mgsin(15) degrees
I know the answer is 4.2*10^3 J but im confused how to get it.
