How much work would it take to push a 9 kg 9kg weight up a 4 m 4m plane that is at an incline of pi / 12 π12?

The work is =91.3J=91.3J

Explanation:

enter image source here

The weight is =9gN=9gN

theta=pi/12θ=π12

Distance, d=4md=4m

The component of the weight parallel to the plane is

F=Wsintheta=9gsin(pi/12)F=Wsinθ=9gsin(π12)

The work done is

W=F*d=9gsin(pi/12)*4=91.3JW=Fd=9gsin(π12)4=91.3J
