Answer:

The force is
F = 200 \ N

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The amount of energy required is
E = 3000 \ J

The time available is
t = 10 \ minutes = 600 \ s

The length of ramp is
l = 15 \ m

Generally the workdone in moving the object is mathematically represented as


W = E = F * l

=>
3000 = F* 15

=>
F = 200 \ N
