    a) work done by external force = 7920.765 N

    b) work done by gravity = 15141.735 J

    c) 0 N

    Explanation:

    mass of box = 343 kg

    weight of box = mass x acceleration due to gravity = 343 x 9.81 m/s^2 = 3364.83 N

    length of incline = 9 m

    angle of incline = 30°

    external force = 5125 N

    a) work done by external force

    resultant force = external force - weight of box = 5125 - 3364.83 = 1760.17 N

    work done by external force = resultant force x vertical distance up

    work done by external force = 1760.17 x 9 sin 30° = 7920.765 N

    b) work done by gravity = work done against gravity

    length of incline = 9 m

    we resolve to the vertical distance = 9 x sin 30° = 4.5 m

    work done by gravity = weight of box x vertical height = 3364.83 x 4.5 = 15141.735 J

    c) work done by the normal force

    since there is no work done in the direction perpendicular to the plane, work done by the normal force = 0 N
