180 j

Explanation:

There are multiple ways to do this

First Way;

Second way

we will use the formula method

The minimum force needed with neutralize the force of gravity pushing the block down the incline.

=> F = mg cos theta

We know

W = F * s

W = mg cos theta * s

W = 2 * 10 * cos(pi/6 )* 90 = 180 J
