A crate of mass 30 kg is pushed up a ramp by a person as shown in the figure below. The person pushes the crate a distance of 32 m as measured along the ramp. Assume the crate moves at constant velocity. Assume the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the ramp is ?K = 0.35. Find the work done by gravity on the crate.

Explanation / Answer

Work done by gravity on the crate = -mgsin(theta) * s = -(30 * 9.8 * sin(30 degree) * 32) = -4704 J
