### Physics Problem

**Q7.** You push a 100-kg file cabinet up on a ramp with a force of 500 N; your push force is parallel to the ramp. The cabinet moves a distance of 8.0 m. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.30. During this process, 
*Clearly show all work!*

**a) What is the work done by the push force?**

**b) What is the work done by the normal force?**

**c) What is the work done by the weight force?**

**d) What is the work done by the friction force?**

**e) What is the net work? What is the final speed of the file cabinet?**

#### Diagram Description
The diagram shows a 100-kg file cabinet being pushed up a ramp inclined at an angle of 10 degrees. A person is pushing the cabinet upward along the incline. The ramp is situated on a flat green surface, and the angle of inclination is labeled as 10 degrees. 

### Explanation of Relevant Concepts

- **Force (N):** Newton's measure of force.
- **Work (J):** Work is the measure of energy transfer when an object is moved over a distance by an external force.
  \[
  \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \times \cos(\theta)
  \]
- **Kinetic Friction:** Frictional force opposing the motion of objects sliding over a surface.
  \[
  \text{Friction Force, } F_f = \mu \times N
  \]
  Where \(\mu\) is the coefficient of kinetic friction and \(N\) is the normal force.
- **Normal Force (N):** Perpendicular force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it.
- **Gravitational Force \(F_g\):** \(F_g = mg\), where \(m\) is mass and \(g\) is gravitational acceleration (\(9.8 \, m/s^2\)).

### Calculations

For part **a)**, **b)**, **c)**, and **d)**, we'll need to calculate the normal force, gravitational force components, friction force, and then apply these to work equations.

For part **e)**, we'll sum the individual works to find the net work and use the work-energy
