Wc = m*g = 50kg * 9.8N/kg = 490 N = Wt.
of crate.

Fc = 490N @ 60o = Force of crate.
Fp = 490*sin60 = 424.4 N. = Force
parallel to incline.
Fv = 490*cos60 = 245 N. = Force perpendicular to the incline.

Ff = u*Fv = u*245 = Force of friction.

Fap-Fp-Ff = m*a
Fap-424.4-u*245 = m*0 = 0
Fap = 424.4 + 245u. = Force applied.

L = 200m/sin60 = 231 m. = Length of
incline.

Work = Fap * L=(424.4+245u) * 231.
