You push a heavy crate out of a carpeted room and down a hallway with a waxed linoleum floor. While pushing the crate 2.5 m out of the room you exert a force of 385 N; while pushing it 10 m down the hallway you exert a force of 130 N. To slow it down you exert a force of 350 N through a distance of 2.0 m, opposite to the motion. How much work do you do in all?

    W = 1562.5 J

    Explanation:

    Path 1:

    W₁ = F₁*d₁ = 385 N * 2.5 m = 962.5 J

    Path 2:

    W₂ = F₂*d₂ = 130 N * 10 m = 1300 J

    Path 3:

    W₃ = F₃*d₃ = (-350 N) * 2 m = - 700 J (opposite to the motion)

    We get

    W = W₁ + W₂ + W₃ = 962.5 J + 1300 J + ( - 700 J) = 1562.5 J
