Hello everyone,
Right now I'm working on an inclined plane problem.
"a) The worker exerts a force(F) of 86 N. How much work does he do?
(b) How much work is done by gravity? (Be careful with the signs you use.)
(c) The coefficient of friction is µ = 0.20. How much work is done by friction? (Be careful with the signs you use.)
"
It gives me information about side lengths and masses. Really, I think I should be able to do this on my own, I just don't understand the diagram very well. The picture we've used in class is very similar to this one:

Could anyone explain to me what the lines mean?
Thanks
