Two horses pull a large crate of negligible mass at constant speed across a barn floor by means of two light steel cables. A large box of mass 220 kg sits on the crate (see the figure below, which shows a top-down view of the crate and box). As the horses pull, the cables are parallel to the horizontal floor. The coefficient of friction between the crate and the barn floor is 0.25. (a) What is the work done by each horse if the box is moved a distance of 20 m? (b) What is the tension in each cable if the angle between each and the direction the crate moves is 12°? | KN

A box with with a mass m = 2kg is being pushed up a ramp by an unknown pushing force Fp. The coefficient of static friction between the box and interface is 0.7. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and interface is 0.6. The incline of the ramp is 15 degrees. The velocity of the box is constant. The surface of the ramp is 12 m. What is the work done by normal force while the box is being pushed the entire length of the ramp? [ I think that it is 0 N, since the x component of normal force which is parallel to motion is 0. Is that correct?]
