11. Ws = 5000 N. = Normal force(Fn).

Fk = u*Fn = 0.05 * 5000 = 250 N. = Eorce
of kinetic friction.

Fap-Fk = M*a
Fap - 250 = M*0 = 0
Fap = 250 N. = Force applied.

Work = Fap * d = 250 * 1000 = 250,000 J.
= 2.5*10^5 J.

12. Same procedure as #11.13.

13. Ws = 6000 N. = Normal force(Fn).

Fk = u*Fn = 0.05 * 6000 = 300 N.

M*g = 6000
M * 9.8 = 6000
M = 612 kg

Fap-Fk = M*a
Fap - 300 = 612*0.20
Solve for Fap.

Work = Fap * d

14. Wb = F = M*g = 1 * 10 = 10 N.

Work = F*d
