A barge of mass 5.00 ×10“ kg is pulled along the Erie Canal by two mules, walking along towpaths parallel to the canal on either side of it. The ropes harnessed to the mules make angles of 45.0° to the canal. Each mule is pulling on its rope with a force of 1.40 kN. How much work is done on the barge by both of these mules together as they pull the barge 166.1 m along the canal?
