Answer:
External force W₁ = F L
Friction force W₂ = - fr L
weight component W₃ = - mg sin θ L
Y Axis Force W=0
Step-by-step explanation:
When the block rises up the plane with constant velocity, it implies that the sum of the forces is zero.
For these exercises it is indicated to create a reference system with the x axis parallel to the plane and the y axis perpendicular
let's write the equations of translational equilibrium in given exercise
X axis
F - fr -Wₓ = 0
F = fr + Wₓ
the components of the weight can be found using trigonometry
Wₓ = W sin θ
= W cos θ
let's look for the work of these three forces
W = F x cos θ
External force
W₁ = F L
since the displacement and the force have the same direction
Friction force
W₂ = - fr L
since the friction force is in the opposite direction to the displacement
For the weight component
W₃ = - mg sin θ L
because the weight component is contrary to displacement
Y Axis
N- Wy = 0
in this case the forces are perpendicular to the displacement, the angle is 90º and the cosine 90 = 0
therefore work is worth zero
