Question
A block of mass 30 kg is pulled up a slope, as shown in diagram with a constant speed, by applying a force of 200 N parallel to slope.
A and B are initial and final positions of block.
(i) Calculate the work done by force in moving the block from A to B.
(ii) Calculate P.E. gained by block. [g=10ms-2]

Solution
(i) Work done in moving the block from = F × d
A to B = 200 N × 3m = 600 J
(ii) Gain in potential energy = mgh = 30 × 10 × 1.5 = 450 J.
