Answer #1

Mass =18kg

Distance lifted is h =3 meters

Work done by gravity = Fg.h

                              Fg = mg

                           W= mgh cosθ

θ =180° as gravity is downwords and direction of motion is upwords

              W= (18×9.81)(3)(-1)

            W= -529.74 N.m

You push a wagon of mass M up a hill of angle ?. The distance you push the wagon up the hill is d. This is the distance up the slope, not the vertical height the wagon moves. You push with a constant force equal to 1/3 the force of gravity on the wagon directly up the hill. The wagon starts at rest at the bottom of the hill. There is a small frictional force between the hill and the...
