When a block is dragged across a table by a string that is parallel to the surface of a table how much work is done by the objects weight?

1 answer

Work done = Force in direction of motion * distance in direction of motion
here = force = weight = something VERTICAL = m g
BUT
motion = something HORIZONTAL = 0
so
what is mg * 0.000... ???
