Multiple part question: A worker in a factory slides a heavy box up a ramp into a truck. The box has a mass of 84 kg, and the ramp is 3 m long and makes an angle of 34° with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the box and ramp is 0.6. What is the weight of the box? What is the normal force acting on the box? What is the force of friction acting on the box? Assuming the worker pushes the box up the ramp with a constant velocity, how much work does the factory worker do on the box in order to get it into the truck? How much gravitational potential energy does the box have once it reaches the top of the ramp?
