Homework Statement
how to calculate work done against friction? I saw alot of people suggesting to use the formula involving cosine if I'm not wrong but it's not in my syallbus, so is there another way to calculate it?
Relevant Equations
WD = F x D

Do you consider inclined plane ?

You need to state the whole question or we're just guessing.

As you referred WD=F*D
F=11,000 N
D is a distance meter the tractor goes in 5 seconds.

oh but the answer is (11 000)(6.0) = 66 000 J though

So, what is D?
