A crate with a mass of 155 kg, starting from rest, slides down a ramp making an angle of 32 degrees with respect to horizontal. The ramp is 6 meters long. A constant frictional force of 200 N acts throughout the motion and a force Fis being applied by a rope as shown to prevent the block from sliding too fast. If the force Fis such that the block will move with constant speed, v= 0.1 m/s, down the ramp. Determine the work, in newton meter, done by the force F if the block travels the length of the ramp.
