I'm sick of this stuff
A 2.52kg block is pushed 1.54m up a vertical wall with constant speed by a constant force of magnitude of F applied at 63.6 degrees with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction is .574. Find the magnitude of the work done by the force of gravity.
This is what I did:
W=mgh
W=2.52(-9.8)(1.52)=-38.032J
Apparently it's wrong and I don't understand why. I drew the diagram and the force of gravity is going down.
I already found F=38.648N and the work done by F, 53.265J for a previous problem but I don't think those results will help.
