Homework Statement
A 2.0 kg block is pushed 3.0 m at a constant velocity up a vertical wall by a constant force applied at an angle of 27 degrees with the horizontal.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m / s2.
If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the wall is .30 ...
A) Find the work done by the force on the block. Answer in units of J.
B) Find the work done by gravity on the block. Answer in units of J.
C) Find the magnitude of the normal force between the block and the wall. Answer in units of N.
Homework Equations
Wg = mgd
w = Fdcos(theta)
The Attempt at a Solution
I actually figured out part 2 by using Wg = mgd
I just can't seem to figure out how to set up parts one and three. I think I have to use w = Fdcos(theta) and set that equal to the force of gravity for part one. And for part three I have to use uN which will equal umg.
